When asked whether he would stay at Arsenal FC forever, Jack Wilshere told iFilm London, “I promise that, yeah. I’ve been at the club since I was nine and learned to love it.”
“From the [Patrick] Vieira days, to [Dennis] Bergkamp, [Cesc] Fabregas, I’ve watched them come through and move on. There’s a crop of new players, [Aaron] Ramsey, myself, Kieran Gibbs…hopefully we can really create something special.
“I love the club and I want to be part of its future.”
Surely Jack Wilshere is the next captain of the Gunners. He’s got the swagger and confidence to lead by example, making him a perfect candidate to lead the Gunners in the near future.
Although Cesc Fabregas was a brilliant players, he did not have the same leadership qualities. That could be one of the reasons that Arsenal have underachieved the last several seasons.
Wilshere also expressed his frustration with all of the nagging injuries he has suffered this season.
“It’s going really slow at the minute and obviously I’m really frustrated,” said Wilshere.
“I should be back in training by mid-December, then I can crack on and it’s up to the boss when he picks me.
“It’s massively frustrating, especially after last year when we were so close to winning a trophy.
“We beat Barcelona at home and everything seemed to be going well and it ended sadly.
“I was looking forward to this season, I really thought we could push on and do something. To get a setback is massively frustrating but I’ll be back in December and hopefully we can push on from then.”
The young England star could be the player that takes Arsenal to the next level following a superb run in form by the Gunners.
Arsenal may not be contenders to win the Premier League, but the all-important fourth place seems far more attainable now than at any other point this season.
“We seem to get better and better every week. We had a bad start to the season and everyone knows that. I’m not going to lie and say we did well, we didn’t,” said the England international.
“The boys had to play together, they’re new players some of them. We seem to be getting better and better every week.
“Today [vs WBA] was probably one of our best performances. We passed it around like the old Arsenal and we seem to be back to winning ways.”
