Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger sees Jack Wilshere as a future manager.
Wilshere is due to make his debut with loan club Bournemouth.
Wenger said: “Jack is a world-class player who will be Arsenal captain — and maybe he will one day be in my seat. He is a real Arsenal man, I see him as the future of this club.
“He will spend his life in football because he has a real football brain and understands the game so well.
“He has an eye on everybody, it's in his genes."
