Wilshere declares Cazorla best he played with at Arsenal

Arsenal hero Jack Wilshere has declared Santi Cazorla the most talented teammate he played with.

During his time at the Emirates Stadium he played with a range of world class players including Thierry Henry, Robin van Persie, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas.

But the 29-year-old free agent insists despite their skill, the technical brilliance of the pint-sized Cazorla left the former England international in awe.

Wilshere told talkSPORT Edge: "He could use both feet, he was only 5ft 5ins and he would just run between players and he was a joy to watch."

He also revealed that former team-mate Fabregas had a huge winning mentality which continued even during training where he would berate coaches for calls going against him.

"He always wanted to win," he added.

"He was a winner and in training games, one of the coaches would make a decision and if it was the wrong decision he would hammer them!"
