Wenger backs Wilshere for future Arsenal role

 

Jack Wilshere has what it takes to be a future Arsenal manager, says Arsene Wenger. 

 

The England international joined Bournemouth on transfer deadline day on a season-long loan, with his long-term future at the Emirates thrown into doubt. 

 

Away from football, however, Wenger believes Wilshere has what it takes to lead the club beyond his playing days.

“Certainly one day he will be in my seat,” Wenger is quoted as saying in the Daily Mirror. 

 

"He has a real football brain and understands football. You know really, it’s in his genes. 

 

“I see him in the future at this club of course. He will spend his life in football, he is a football man. 

 

“He has an eye on everybody, it’s in him. You have that or you haven’t got it, but he is a real football man.”
