Wilshere keen to form central Arsenal midfield partnership with Oxlade-Chamberlain

Jack Wilshere is full of praise for Arsenal teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has been earmarked for a future midfield role by Arsene Wenger and Wilshere can expect to line up alongside him for Arsenal and England.

"If we can get playing together for Arsenal then hopefully we can take it onto the international stage and it'll be great for both club and country," said Wilshere.

"I think that Alex is already mature enough to step in at any level. You could see that at the Euros - he was just 18 but it was like he was meant to be there. That confidence is one of his main attributes, and I think that the boss at Arsenal has been really good for him."
