Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is delighted with the form of Jack Wilshere.
Wilshere impressed for England recently and Wenger is pleased to see the midfielder performing well for club and country.
"He is back, physically, to where he was before," the boss said. "He has more experience and I think he mixed well his long balls and kept his individual capacity to make a difference [for England]. That is what being a midfielder is about.
"Jack is not a ball-winner. I believe he is more a guy you want to get close to the final third, [if you] keep him deep you take a big part of his efficiency away.
"He is a guy who likes to penetrate when there are many people - he can provoke free-kicks, he can create openings. It would be detrimental to his strengths [to play in a position that] is not his strength."
