Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is excited about the prospect of teaming with Ryan Giggs ahead of the London Olympics.

The Welsh duo were both selected by Stuart Pearce as part of Team GB's 18-man squad for the games.

Wales captain Ramsey has never played with his fellow countryman, and admits that he is looking forward to working with the United veteran.

"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's official site.

"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."

Giggs retired from international football with Wales in 2007.
