'Wales have come a long way': Aaron Ramsey

Aaron Ramsey has warned England that Wales are ready to stun them at Euro 2016.

The Arsenal midfielder believes Chris Coleman's side have improved since last facing the Three Lions four years ago.

England have won the last four games between the nations without conceding a goal - having beaten Wales in qualifying for the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2012.

The teams play in Lens on June 16 next year and, with Wales having peaked in the world rankings at eighth in October, Ramsey insists they are a different proposition now.

I'm sure it'll be a lot closer this game - and it could go either way.

To be fair, I wanted England. I had a bit of luck. I think it'll be a great game for everyone who's involved in what'll be seen as a 'derby' if you like.

They (Arsenal team-mates Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs) have already been winding me up but I'm keeping quiet and seeing what happens on the day.

– Aaron Ramsey, Wales and Arsenal
