Former manager Arsène Wenger paid Aaron Ramsey a visit at OCG Nice’s training ground yesterday.
The veteran wasn't shy of words when it came to praising the 31-year old.
🗣️ : "I know Aaron well, he is a player who will bring more."
“He was a bit disturbed by injuries in Italy. We must give him time, physically, to return to his best level."
“He is creative, a finisher, he has the timing to go into the box at the right time."
“He also has a form of self-confidence that can help the team grow."
“He played a lot of great games, I think he can also bring a lot to the team through his experience and his ambition.”

OGC Nice Season Outlook:
Very solid season from a Nice team that struggled a bit last term. This season they were able to qualify for European football. Though many might see the loss of Christoph Galtier as a sign that Nice with regress next season, on the contrary, I believe thé the appointment of Lucien Favre will bring about even more success. Favre was very successful in his first tenure as manager of Nice, which was before the Ineos investment. One can only imagine that he will have even more success during this tenure as manager.
Nice already have a very well built young team, that with some extra signings may be able to crack the top 3 of Ligue 1 next season and qualify for the Champions League. Firstly, Nice are in need of a new goalkeeper, following Walter Benitez’s departure from Nice. There have been a lot of rumors surrounding Kepa and Nice, however, I think that a much safer option can be found in Cakir from Trabzonspor. He is a high level goalkeeper approaching him prime years and would be a great addition to this team. Nice can probably buy him for around €20m-€25m. Personally, I think that Nice’s defense and attack are already solid, and barring the loss of any major players, don’t really need any major signings. Lastly for the midfield, I do believe that Nice can use another first team midfielder to make the team more complete. For this, I think they should look to sign Takefusa Kubo from Real Madrid. He is a very high level young player who is good in attack and in midfield. He’s been struggling a bit at Madrid and has been loaned out many times, but I think he just needs to find somewhere where he can settle down and hone his craft. I think he would be a great addition to this Nice team and they could probably buy him for around €15m. This is a young and exciting OGC Nice team with a lot of potential. They have a capable coach, a strong financial backing, and a trove of talented young players. Should the pieces align, look to them to be the new challengers of PSG in France.
