Manager Arsène Wenger has said that his team hold the key to the future of the national team.

The Arsenal youth team that featured against Wigan Athletic had several English players that put in a performance that had critics purring.

Wenger said: "If Capello wants to have a good selection, he has to come to our Carling Cup games.

"If you give me time, I will produce England players. These boys have a future.

"We have Gavin Hoyte, who had an outstanding game, Kieran Gibbs, Mark Randall, Jack Wilshere, Jay Simpson - all of them are top-class.

"There were also a few English players on the bench who are good as well. We have eight or nine players who are very impressive.

"My beliefs have always been the same. I am happy that the people who love the club are happier, but I've always had faith in what I have been doing.

"It would be tempting to play them in the Premier League, but the pressure at that level is different."
