Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is weighing up playing Jack Wilshere in a deeper role this new season.
The Daily Mail says Wilshere is set to be handed the chance to play as Arsenal's new midfield anchor next season.
Manager Arsene Wenger believes the 22-year-old has the football brain to play as his side's holding central midfielder - a move that could save the club millions in the transfer market.
The club had identified a new defensive midfielder as one of their transfer priorities, with the Gunners looking at moves for Sami Khedira, Lars Bender and Morgan Schneiderlin.
But Wenger and his backroom staff believe they may already have the answer to the problem position in the form of Wilshere.
