Jack Wilshere is being held back by Arsenal team-mates and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the proof, says Ray Parlour

Ray Parlour believes Jack Wilshere is being held back by his Arsenal team-mates, and that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s form since joining Liverpool is proof.

Wilshere is approaching ten years as a first-team player at the Emirates Stadium, and there have been questions raised over his lack of progress at the north London club.

Football journalist Henry Winter has claimed the England international’s career is suffering because of manager Arsene Wenger.

He claims the 26-year-old is being played in the wrong position and is not challenged enough by the Frenchman, who appears to be coming to the end of the 22-year tenure in charge.
