Arsenal midfielder Wilshere impressed by Gedion Zelalem

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is full of praise for young teammate Gedion Zelalem.

The talented youngster made his senior debut against Coventry City at the start of 2014 and has started both of Arsenal's recent pre-season friendlies.

"He's a great kid and that's the main thing," Wilshere told arsenal.com. "He's willing to learn, he's willing to listen, he's respectful and he looks up to us.

"He always asks questions about what he should be doing. The main thing is his ability - that's the key thing with him.

"He's got so much ability and he can go where he wants. Maybe he needs to get a little bit stronger but his ability will take him through.

"Gedion's got so much natural ability and the right attitude towards the game. Naturally he's going to become stronger and he's training with great players."
