“I’ve had games for the under-21s, and I know it’s nowhere near this level, but you can still test yourself”.

Wenger has used the 24-year-old in a wide role rather than his more familiar central midfield berth, and Wilshere thanked Hodgson for having the faith to play him through the middle against Turkey on Sunday as the England squad prepares for next month’s European Championships.
According to reports from The Telegraph, Arsenal are ready to hand Manchester City transfer target Jack Wilshere a contract extension.
“There’s a lot of players I haven’t played with before”.
England global Jack Wilshere has criticised the wide role given to him by Arsene Wenger, claiming he should be played centrally in the Arsenal line-up.
“The mere fact Henderson is in contention is an enormous bonus because when the injury occurred, we were told to work on the basis that it would keep him out of the Euros because it would take a longer recovery time”, Hodgson said.
“We also hope to stay in the tournament a little while so I don’t think we should be too anxious about him at this point of time in May”.
“I’ve worked with Roy now and his staff for a number of years and they know what I bring and I know what they want from me as well”. Give him more game time before Euro.
With Jack Wilshere’s Arsenal future already under discussion in some quarters, the midfielder has given the gossipmongers even more to talk about.
Despite the midfielder’s struggles this term, Wilshere found himself included in Hodgson’s provisional squad and has been given the opportunity to prove himself in the Three Lions’ pre-tournament friendlies. I played the holding role before and I really enjoy that. But I enjoyed it.

Some have doubted the wisdom of including Wilshere, viewing his history of fitness problems as too great a risk, should he break down again once the finals in France come around.
