Giggs backs Ramsey to follow in Bale's footsteps and be a success in Europe

"You've seen what it (going abroad) has done for Gareth," said Giggs.

"It will be a great experience for Aaron and he is going to a great club, the biggest in Italy.

"Look at the facilities Juventus have got, they are a massive club.

"He is playing well at the moment and (leaving Arsenal) has not affected him."

Giggs has an increasingly cosmopolitan squad at his disposal with 18-year-old winger Rabbi Matondo having also moved to Germany in January.

Matondo joined Schalke from Manchester City for around £10million just a couple of months after making his Wales debut in Albania.

He is expected to win his second cap against Trinidad & Tobago in a friendly in Wrexham on Wednesday, four days before Wales open their 2020 European Championship qualifying campaign at home to Slovakia in Cardiff.

"I was slightly surprised when he went, but Rabbi is a talent," Giggs said.

"He has electrifying pace and that always keeps you interested. Obviously after that you have to develop.

"If a full-back works you out you have to have that Plan B, but he can hurt teams.

"It is great he has had that different experience, like I've touched on with Rambo, and gone to a different country."

Matondo has followed the same path to the Bundesliga as England's Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, another exciting teenager who went through the City academy system.

"If he's half as successful as Sancho has been so far, I'll be happy." Giggs said.

"We have players in the Premier League, different countries, Championship and League One.

"So it is a real diverse group of players, playing at different levels and in different situations.

"It brings a different flavour to the group and that's good."
