Song enjoys Wilshere partnership

Alex Song says he enjoys playing alongside Jack Wilshere, and believes the two have struck up a good understanding this season.

Wilshere has been a revelation for Arsenal this season, establishing himself firmly as first choice in the Gunners' midfield.

Song believes his team-mate has shown great maturity, and has the determination to keep improving.

He said: "Jack is a big character. He's still young but as I said he's very clever. When you're on the pitch, you need to talk to help your partners and he's done very well.

"Sometimes when I push forward, he says, 'no Alex, try to drop back a little bit'. We just try to talk to help each other - which works very good. I think this guy is very clever, quick, good on the ball and is just 19."

Song added that Wilshere shows a great attitude in training, and has tipped him as a future star for England as well as Arsenal.

He added: "He doesn't want to say 'today everyone talks about me, so I won't work harder'. Every day in training it's like a new day for him.

"I've never seen him walk in training. I think that's very good because when you have the mentality like that it's the winning mentality. England have a good future with him."
