England coach Fabio Capello rates Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere as the best young player in the world.
The Italian will hand the Arsenal starlet a starting role in the Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.
Capello said: "Wilshere, after the game against Barcelona, has arrived. You can understand the value of those performances.
"As a young player I think he is at the top, not only in England but in Europe and the world.
"He is first choice for me because he is good because he plays without fear, with confidence.
"I never saw someone so young be a leader on the pitch - it's incredible."
