Arsenal star Wilshere eyes England captaincy

21 May 2013 - 03:33

Jack Wilshere is hopeful that he will one day captain his country. The midfielder currently has 7 caps for the national team but is widely considered as a long term replacement in England's midfield after Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard retire.

  • Juventus and Napoli enter race for Chelsea winger
  • Felix Nmecha linked with Chelsea move
  • 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."
