Wilshere: Holding not out of comfort zone at Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere claims that new signing Rob Holding is not out of his comfort zone playing for a Premier League club.

The 20-year-old, who arrived this summer from Bolton Wanderers, had only spent one season in the Championship before he made his debut for the Gunners in the season-opener against Liverpool on Sunday.

Holding's performance in the 4-3 defeat was praised by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger after the game and teammate Wilshere has now echoed the boss' sentiments.

Wilshere told Arsenal Player: "I think if you look on the pitch, he doesn't look out of his comfort zone.

"He is a natural, he is confident on the ball and he wants to play and I think that is the Arsenal way. He is a great addition to the squad and one for the future as well."
