Jack Wilshere has picked out four players in Arsenal 's academy who are able to "do things you can't coach."
Wilshere, 31, retired from professional football last July and has been coaching in the Gunners' youth setup in a bid to work his way up the managerial ladder. The ex-Arsenal midfielder is a product of the club's academy himself and knows exactly what it takes both on and off the pitch to make it at the Emirates.
Now head coach of the Gunners' under-18 side, Wilshere led his fledglings to a dramatic 3-2 victory over Cambridge United in the quarter-finals of FA Youth Cup. Following last Thursday's win, the former West Ham and Bournemouth man spoke to The Athletic and heaped praise on four midfielders who are hoping to follow in his footsteps.
