Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has named youngsters Chris Willock and Jeff Reine-Adelaide as his picks to break through to the Gunners' first-team this season.

The 24-year-old has played with both youngsters in training and during pre-season tours and has been left impressed with what he has seen.

"I've played with Chris for a few years in training and last year he came on tour," Wilshere told Arsenal Player.

"I think he has improved, he has become stronger and he is one of those players that have a natural ability running with the ball.

"He can take contact well if someone smashes into him. He has got great balance… if Chris gets his chance I'm sure he will take it.

"I think one thing that strikes everyone [about Jeff] is his confidence. Last year when he played in the Emirates Cup, he was only 17 years old and he wasn't afraid to get the ball down take players on and play.

"I think the year in the under-21s has really helped him and he is ready to make that step up."
