Arsenal ace Ramsey excited playing with Man Utd's Giggs for Team GB

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is looking forward to playing with Manchester United icon Ryan Giggs with Team GB.

Ramsey is one of five Welshmen in the Great Britain squad with 13 English players completing the picture. Understandably, one name in particular stands out for the Arsenal man.

"It will be a good experience and a different experience to play in the Olympics, being part of a British team and playing alongside some of the English players too," Ramsey told Arsenal.com.

"And of course Ryan Giggs will be there too. He retired from international football before I got into the Wales team and he's an absolute icon in Welsh football. He's done it all and most players would like to play alongside him so hopefully I'll get my chance.

"I can certainly learn from him while I'm with the Great Britain squad."
