Arsenal boss Wenger: Time for Wilshere to deliver

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says it's time for Jack Wilshere to start delivering.

Wenger believes that Wilshere has been held back by his ankle injury in the past and now that is no longer a worry, he should deliver consistently throughout the season.

He said: "He's 22 and with the experience he has I don't consider him anymore as a guy who is just starting the game. I consider him as a player. He has the experience. For him the problem until now was medical. I think he's over it now.

"It's the first time I've seen him not miss a session since the start of the preparations. It's an important year for Jack: very important."
