Wenger hints at attacking role for Wilshere

Arsene Wenger has hinted that Jack Wilshere will be used in an attacking role for Arsenal in the upcoming season.

Much debate has surrounded what Wilshere's best position is after some impressive performances for England as a defensive midfielder during their European Championship qualifying campaign.

But Wenger insists he sees the 23-year-old as someone who can play further forward and act as a creative force if he can steer clear of the injuries that have plagued his career to date.

"It is a big season for Jack Wilshere," he told reporters. "I hope that he can get a full season without any problems and then it will be a big year for him and us as well.

"I see him in a creative offensive position, on the flank or in the middle. For me, he is a creator in the final third."
