Alex Song has heaped praise on his young team-mate Jack Wilshere for the progress he has made this season for Arsenal and England.

The 19-year-old has cemented a place in Arsenal's midfield this season after a successful loan spell at Bolton last term. He has also gone on to make two appearances for the senior England side.

Song makes up another part of Arsène Wenger's successful three-man midfield, and says he enjoys playing with Wilshere, who he believes has shown maturity beyond his years.

The Cameroon international added that he is unsurprised to see Wilshere become a part of the England set-up so quickly this year.

Song said: "Jack is an unbelievable young player – it's hard to think that he is just 19 years old because he's playing like a guy with 200 Premier League appearances.

"I'm very happy to play alongside him – he always wants to listen and learn, and I'm not surprised to see him in the England team.

"It's always good to see your team-mates doing well internationally and I think England has a good future with Jack, Theo and Kieran around."
