Teenage sensation Jack Wilshere reminds Arsène Wenger of a young Wayne Rooney. And How..

At 17 years old, the Hitchin-born midfielder is already Arsenal’s youngest Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League player. And, after appearing fleetingly for Wenger’s side last season, he looks set for further involvement this term. The manager sees parallels between Wilshere’s rise and that of Wayne Rooney, who hit the headlines as a 16-year-old at Everton, before a big-money switch to Manchester United in 2004. Wenger was quoted as saying:

“Jack reminds me a bit of Rooney when he started. In his belief and his positive attitude to go forwards. For the rest, he has still a lot to learn, relations with other players team-wise, but there are some great basics there. But as a manager you do not want a guy to be a star before he has delivered, and maybe here that is more difficult than anywhere else.”

Fabio Capello was present at the Emirates Cup which Wilshere illuminated with two goals and two Man of the Match performances.
