Wales boss: Aaron Ramsey one of best in world
Wales under-21 boss Brian Flynn sent Arsenal youngster Aaron Ramsey into battle against England this evening insisting: "He is one of the best youngsters in the world."
The 17-year-old was left out of John Toshack's full squad to help the Welsh youngsters in their European U21 Championship play-off against England.
And Flynn says the 5m signing from Cardiff has the potential to go all the way to the top.
"At this stage, this age, he is as good as Cesc Fabregas," said Flynn.
"He is a top-six Premier League player and a top international anywhere in Europe.
"I've been watching Aaron since he was 14. He can be anything he wants to be in the game.
"He is quite something, and I can compare him to one of the best youngsters in the world in Fabregas."
Ramsey is the highest-profile player in the Welsh squad for the game in Cardiff and Flynn added: "He is very close to being a senior international but we want him to help the under-21s first.
"He even speaks Welsh, he ticks all the boxes!"
