FA chief Gareth Southgate is concerned with England pinning their hopes on Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere.

Southgate believes England's obsession with one player being so pivotal to success has to end.

He declared in The Sun: "I feel we're pinning so much on Jack Wilshere.

"What we want to be able to say is that there are five or six, not just Jack.

"The expectation, everybody talking about Jack, is putting a lot of pressure on him. I would say that. In every era it's one, isn't it? For the last five years, it was maybe Wayne Rooney. Now it's Jack.

"But top countries have five or six, they churn them out.

"Brazil is unique because of the size of the population.

"Yet other countries, like Spain, Germany, and Holland, develop far more players."
