Former England national team captain Terry Butcher has claimed that Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is the best creative talent in Roy Hodgson's squad.

Butcher feels that the 24-year-old midfielder needs to start for the Three Lions at Euro2016 has he possesses the tools to unlock opposition defences.

He told Sky Sports: "I would go for Wilshere in there. He is England's best player on his day.

"He was the top passer in qualification. He has the ability to unlock most teams, especially ones that sit back, as Portugal did in the recent friendly.

"Teams will try to deny space for the pace of Rooney, Sturridge or Vardy, so we need that added quality that Wilshere brings, regardless of fitness. He can 'winkle' his way through teams, and prize open solid defences when it is tight.

"I am not one to pick players who have been in top form leading up to a tournament, I want players who can do a job for England, and have been successful in the past. Wilshere is that one, he has to start."
