Wenger says more Arsenal players to reach England squad

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says they'll soon have more players in the England squad.

A criticism levelled at Wenger is that he has not developed enough home-grown talent, rather picking up potential from abroad.

However, with the likes of England forward Theo Walcott and Under-21 midfielder Jack Wilshere now both in the Arsenal first-team set-up, that can no longer be applied.

"Soon we might have some others," said Wenger.

"We have produced many English players who have not completely made it at Arsenal.

"On the England fringes we had players like [David] Bentley and Matthew Upson, who is now back in the England squad.

"They are quality players who were here."
