Arsenal's Ramsey: I wouldn't swap Tottenham's Bale for any Belgium star

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey says Wales teammate Gareth Bale is the best player of the two squads when they face Belgium tonight.

Bale is Wales' big hope against Belgium's star-studded team.

Ramsey said: "Belgium is going to be a good test as they have some talented players playing at the highest level.

"But I personally wouldn't swap Gareth for any of their lads. He is always a threat creating and scoring goals.

"He has that quality to whip in a ball or come inside and shoot from distance and cause a problem for the goalkeeper.

"You can't say he has got off to a slow start, he's created a few opportunities in the games I've seen on Match Of The Day.

"Spurs have had a tough start to the season but he has ­definitely shown on the training field he is as good as ever.

"He has a few hat-tricks, like against Inter Milan when he tore Maicon apart. He is definitely a player who can be the key for us to unlocking defences."
