Arsenal's Wilshere has 'stepped up to the plate' - England's Hodgson

Jack Wilshere can be very happy with his recent performances according to England boss Roy Hodgson.

The Arsenal midfielder was superb for the Three Lions in their 3-1 win friendly over Scotland in Glasgow on Tuesday night and his contribution was noted by Hodgson in the after-match.

"I think Jack can grow into many roles," he told Sky Sports.

"If we wanted to play Jack further forward in the left or right position, I think he'd do very well for us there too.

"Jack's stepped up to the plate really well and has to be delighted with his autumn. I'm hoping he'll carry that forward not just for us but for his club as well."
