'Wilshere the best English footballer of all time' - Arsenal loanee Akpom

A midfielder who has come back into favour at Emirates Stadium this season has seen his quality talked up by a fellow Gunners academy graduate

Jack Wilshere has been labelled “the best English footballer of all time” by fellow Arsenal academy graduate Chuba Akpom.

The 26-year-old midfielder made his senior debut for the Gunners back in 2008 and was tipped for a bright future for club and country.

Wilshere is closing in on 200 appearances for Arsenal, while earning 34 caps for England, but fitness issues have blighted a promising career and his future remains unclear as he continues to run down his current contract at Emirates Stadium.
