Jack Wilshere bio from contacttheplayers.com
Jack Wilshere plays as a midfielder for Arsenal in the English Premier League, and is tipped to be a great England player. He favours playing in the ‘hole’ behind the strikers, but can also put his pace and passing to good use on the right-hand side of midfield. He reads the game particularly well, and has been given chances to shine by coach Arsene Wenger, who has great faith in Jack.
Having played his way through the youth teams, Jack Wilshere was taken into the Arsenal reserve team in February 2008, and was soon training with the first team, trying to learn from the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Tomas Rosicky.
Jack featured in Arsenal’s ‘Carling Cup Kids’ team, winning plaudits from the national press, and is on the verge of having an impact on the first team, though he is more than happy to remain on the sidelines and learn his trade in training for the time being.
Arsene Wenger has tipped Jack for greatness, anticipating that Wilshere will have a big role for Arsenal in the future. His faith in Wilshere is such that Wenger threw him on in a Champions League qualifier against Dynamo Kiev, making him only the fifth 16-year-old to play in the Champions League!
