Good news! Former Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has not joined Burnley. 

There had been fears that the long-serving Gunners man could have joined the Turf Moor outfit dubbed by many Gooners as the new Stoke City.

However, thankfully as transfer deadline day ticks down, Rangers have announced the signing of Ramsey in one of Scottish football's biggest deadline-day deals in recent years.

The out-of-favour Juventus midfielder has completed a loan move for the rest of the season. 

Ramsey's new club have released a statement with the Glasgow giants saying: "Rangers are delighted to announce the loan signing of Wales international midfielder Aaron Ramsey from Juventus until the end of the season.

"The former Arsenal man will add quality and further competition in the middle of the park for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side as they continue to compete on three fronts between now and May.

"Ramsey began his career at Cardiff City, and was their youngest-ever player. After helping the Championship side reach the FA Cup final in 2008, he made the move to Arsenal."

The out-of-favour Juve midfielder has moved on loan for the rest of the campaign after making 70 appearances for the Serie A club since joining from Arsenal in 2019. The Wales international’s contract in Turin runs until the summer of 2023.

Rangers added: "With the Gunners, he scored the winner against Allan McGregor’s Hull City in the 2014 FA Cup Final, won the tournament again the year after and grabbed another winner in the 2017 Final.

"In all, he made 371 appearances for the London club in an extraordinary 11-year spell which was punctuated with loan time at Nottingham Forest and Cardiff in 2010/11 as he recovered from a broken leg."
