Wenger Said:

“At the moment I want Jack to gain experience, if possible at Arsenal,”

“So I give him a chance now to play so that he can integrate into the first team.”

“But of course we will make that decision later. Ideally it is better that he gains experience with us.”

“I am a bit keen not to create too much hype around the young English players. They need to work hard and we have outstanding English talent.”

Wenger was pleased with the teams display agianst Sturm Graz

“In the first half Sturm Graz played quite well defensively,”

“Altogether it was our second match for the pre-season and I am quite satisfied with the evening.”

“Of course there is a difference [between the Austrian League and the Premier League] but Austria is on a good way and with young players.

“The English scouting system is a lot better and there is a lot more money they can use. There is a difference but Austrian football is on a good way.”

Young star Jack Wilshere is looking forward to the challenge of Emirates Cup with AC Milan, Celtic & Lyon taking part in these years pre-season tournament.

Jack Said: “It can help set the tone for your season,” Wilshere told Arsenal’s club website. “A good performance at the Emirates Cup can help put you in the manager’s mind.”

“It’s a chance to show what you can do against some of the best clubs. It’s good for the younger players too. They can make an impact in front of the manager.”

“As a young player you always want to take your chance and the Emirates Cup is really good for that. It is a good tournament. ”

“It is good for families to come and watch some of the best teams and some of the best players and it always has a really good atmosphere.”

Jack can either a) Fight for a place in the Arsenal Squad or b) Go on loan to Bolton (or other club) and be a regular starter.
