Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey says that he has been 'honoured' to play for manager Arsene Wenger, who has announced that he will leave the Gunners in the summer.

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has praised the "influence" that Arsene Wenger has had on his life since signing for the Gunners.

On Friday, Wenger revealed that he would step down from his role in the dugout at the end of the season to conclude a 22-year period with the North London outfit.

Ramsey left Cardiff City to make the switch to Arsenal in 2008 - when he was just 17 years of age - and the Welsh international has heaped praise on a man under whom he has worked for the past decade.
