Jack Wilshere will be manager of Arsenal one day.

That is the remarkable prediction from Arsene Wenger who believes Wilshere has got all the attributes to make him a successful manager.

The Gunners boss says Wilshere will return to Arsenal after his year-long loan spell at Bournemouth and has got a future at the Emirates beyond his playing days.

Wenger said: “Certainly one day he will be in my seat.

"He has a real football brain and understands football. You know really, it’s in his genes.

“I see him in the future at this club of course. He will spend his life in football, he is a football man.

“He has an eye on everybody, it’s in him. You have that or you haven’t got it, but he is a real football man.”
