Martin Keown tips Jack Wilshere for Arsenal first team after midfielder's impressive display against BATE Borisov: 'He's the one player in this group who can break into that A team'

Sportsmail columnist Martin Keown has tipped Jack Wilshere to make a return to the Arsenal first team after scoring his first goal for the club since May 2015.

Wilshere scored Arsenal's third goal and assisted the sixth during the 6-0 victory over BATE Borisov in the Europa League on Thursday night.

The 25-year-old has only started in League Cup and Europa League games this season, although he has made appearances off the bench in the Premier League.
