Manager Arsène Wenger has praised Jack Wilshere after his performance in the Carling Cup last night, and said that the young Englishman has 'something special' about him.
The media spotlight and attention are on Wilshere this season after his sterling performances in the Emirates Cup, and he didn't disappoint in the 2-0 win over Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion.
Wenger said: "I feel he did very well. He looked always lively, dangerous in a difficult part of the game. When it was very tight in the first half he looked to find openings, he is not scared.
"He has something which is very difficult to give to players, no matter how big the game is he takes the ball and takes people on.
"He still sometimes has a little lack of experience in his decision-making but you see there is something special there.
"I believe in the future he will be a central player but at the moment in his education it is good that he plays wide right, wide left, central, wherever we need him."
Wilshere was however involved in an incident with former Arsenal striker Jerome Thomas, who was subsequently sent off. When asked to explain the incident, Wenger admitted that he doesn't know what happened.
The Frenchman explained: "My eyes are not great and my ears are even worse! Because I couldn't hear anything from the touchline.
"He [Thomas] has responded, he reacted, and in this case you have to control your nerves. Have you any excuses? I don't know. But Jack looked upset as well, he said he has been kicked."
