Jack Wilshere

Talented play-maker Jack Wilshere is gaining a huge reputation as one of the biggest prospects in the Academy, having come through the Hale End system.

Jack is a left footed attack minded midfielder, capable of playing anywhere across the midfield or behind the striker. He is only 170cm but rugged and is willing to chase the ball down and run the channels, his low centre of gravity and deceiving pace allows marking difficult for opposition defenders.

But its his no fear approach when going forward that is impressive, never doubting his ability he is not afraid to shoot from range, and his talent to find space and pick an inch perfect pass makes him one of the most exciting prospect’s in the Academy.

Recently becoming an England Under 17 International, Arsenal rewarded his superb progress by handing him a long term scholarship deal in January 2008.
