Ex-Arsenal midfield maestro finds success in Ligue 1

Former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey (32) is reportedly on the verge of triggering a one-year contract extension with Ligue 1 side OGC Nice, according to French publication L’Équipe.

Ramsey’s resurgence under Digard

Didier Digard’s arrival in January as caretaker manager has been a boon for the Welsh midfielder, who has been a regular starter in Nice’s midfield this season.

Ramsey’s consistent performances have significantly contributed to the team’s improvement under Digard’s guidance.

During his 11-year tenure with the North London club, Ramsey was instrumental in securing three FA Cup titles and two Community Shields for the Gunners.

He also became the club’s highest-scoring central midfielder with 64 goals.

However, Ramsey’s departure from Arsenal in 2019 came as a shock to many fans.

Unable to reach an agreement on a contract extension, he signed a pre-contract with Italian giants Juventus before joining OGC Nice in 2021.

With a bonus structure in place, Ramsey could comfortably make over €200,000-a-month at OGC Nice, primarily linked to his appearances.

L’Équipe suggests that the ex-Arsenal star is set to trigger a one-year contract extension tied to his number of appearances for the French side.

Season stats and fan interest

This season, Ramsey has made 27 appearances for Le Gym across all competitions, scoring once and providing two assists.

As the former Arsenal man looks to extend his stay in France, fans of the North London club will undoubtedly follow his progress with interest.
