Injury has so far blighted the youngster's career, but Wilshere is still widely regarded as one of the best prospects ever to come from Arsenal's youth academy.<br />

"I want to captain Arsenal and I want to captain England. That definitely appeals to me. It's my ultimate dream. People say players are no longer bothered about wearing the England shirt," said Wilshere.<br />

"But for me it's the pinnacle of my job because club rivalries go out of the window and the entire nation comes together behind you - it's the best feeling."
