Wilshere reveals starlet’s secrets
JACK WILSHERE knows all about being an Arsenal prodigy and making an England debut at 18.
And he reckons Myles Lewis-Skelly will follow in his footsteps — then potentially become a World Cup star.
He said: “With Myles, it is not a case of, ‘Is he too young?’.
“He just wants to be in a team, wants to lead and has an incredible family around him — and that’s important as well. He’d be able to handle playing at the World Cup.
I remember my journey coming through and I was in the first team at Arsenal, then I was called into the U19s at England.
“Don’t get me wrong, at that point I was just happy to represent my country and wasn’t thinking, ‘Oh, now I’m ready for the first team’.
“But I was going from training with the first team, playing in the Champions League, playing in the Premier League, to then playing U19s.
“But we can be braver as a nation and Jude Bellingham has shown that as he went quickly into the senior team.”
