Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere feels he has four young guns capable of reaching the first team.

Wilshere led his youngsters to a dramatic 3-2 victory over Cambridge United in the quarter-finals of FA Youth Cup.

Following last Thursday's win, he spoke to The Athletic and heaped praise on four midfielders who are hoping to follow in his footsteps.

"There are some things that you see from Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, Bradley Ibrahim, Jimi Gower — they do things you can't coach," Wilshere hailed. "That's why they're at Arsenal. They need a few things tactically. I like my midfielders to be on the half-turn, play forward and touch forward, dribble if you can.

"We had some moments of brilliance when Myles drives, when Ethan's on the half-turn, when Amario Cozier-Duberry's one-v-one. If we can get more of those then we'll be all right. You see it tonight, even though it was Reuell Walters at centre-back. When you drive forward it just changes the picture."
