Gastón Exequiel Ramírez Pereyra (locally: [ɡahˈton raˈmiɾeh]; born 2 December 1990) is a Uruguayan footballer who is currently a free agent, having previously played for Southampton and the Uruguay national football team as an attacking midfielder.

A full international for Uruguay since 2010, he represented the nation at the 2012 Olympics, 2013 Confederations Cup and 2014 World Cup.

Club career

Born in Fray Bentos, Ramírez started his senior career in Uruguay with Peñarol, making his professional debut for the club in March 2009. In his second year there, Ramírez scored 6 goals in 30 games, helping the club win the 2009–10 Primera División.

In August 2010, Ramírez was sold to Bologna for a fee of €2.5 million.[citation needed] He made his Bologna debut in a 1–1 draw away to Catania on 26 September 2010.[2] Ramírez finished his first season at Bologna with four goals and two assists in 25 league appearances, and scored an additional three goals in two Coppa Italia games.[3]

Southampton

On 31 August 2012, he joined Southampton for a reported £12m, signing a four-year contract.[4][5] He made his debut on 15 September in a 6–1 defeat against Arsenal, coming on as a half-time substitute for Steven Davis.[6] He scored his first goal on 29 September 2012, opening the scoring in a 3–1 defeat against Everton.[7] His first home goal came in a 2–0 victory against Newcastle United on 25 November.[8] On 1 January 2013, he scored in a 1–1 draw at home to Arsenal.[9]

On 27 April, Ramírez was sent off for an incident involving West Bromwich Albion's Marc-Antoine Fortuné following an elbow on Shane Long. As a result, he was suspended for the last three matches of the season.[10][11] On 23 January 2014, it was announced that along with Dejan Lovren, Ramirez would be out for six to eight weeks with ankle ligament damage.[12]

Hull City

On 1 September 2014, Ramírez was loaned to fellow Premier League club, Hull City.[13] Two weeks later he made his debut at the KC Stadium, replacing fellow debutant Mohamed Diamé for the final 11 minutes of a 2–2 draw against West Ham United.[14]

Ramírez was given a straight red card for kicking Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen in Hull's 1–2 home defeat on 23 November.[15] He scored once in 22 games for the Tigers – equalising in a 3–1 win at Sunderland on 26 December with a 30-yard strike, before assisting James Chester's header via a corner kick.[16] However, the season ended with relegation.

Middlesbrough

On 26 January 2016, Ramírez joined Middlesbrough on loan for the rest of the season, when his Southampton contract expires.[17][18] He made his debut on 9 February in a 1–1 draw at Milton Keynes Dons, and two weeks later he scored his first Boro goal, giving them the lead in a 3–1 win against Cardiff City at the Riverside Stadium.[19] On 4 March, he struck both goals in a 2–1 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, putting his team on top of the Championship table.[20]

On 7 May, he was part of the Middlesbrough side that won promotion to the Premier League with a man of the match performance in a 1–1 draw with Brighton, despite a nasty injury following a challenge by Dale Stephens.[21][22]

In 2009, Ramírez played in the FIFA U-20 World Cup. On 8 October 2010, he received his first full cap for Uruguay in a 7–1 friendly win against Indonesia in Jakarta, replacing Diego Pérez at half time.[23]

In July 2012, he was named as a member of the Uruguay squad for the football tournament at the 2012 Summer Olympics, scoring during a warm-up match against Panama on 15 July. On 26 July, he scored from a free-kick to equalise as Uruguay came from behind to win 2–1 against the United Arab Emirates at Old Trafford in their opening game,[24] although they were eventually eliminated at the group stage.

In June 2013, Ramírez was picked by Óscar Tabárez for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup tournament. Ramírez started the first group game against world champions Spain, and the third match against Tahiti, as Uruguay eventually came fourth.

On 31 May 2014, Ramírez was named in Uruguay's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[25] He made his tournament debut in the last group game against Italy on 24 June, replacing Cristian Rodríguez after 78 minutes. Three minutes later, he supplied the cross from which Diego Godín scored the only goal of the game, putting Uruguay through to the knock-out stages.[26]
