Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Jack Wilshere has a similar character to Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney when he was young.
"What is good in his case is he reminds me a bit of Rooney when he started, in his belief and his positive attitude to go forwards," said Wenger.
"For the rest, he has still a lot to learn, relations with other players team-wise, but there are some great basics there."
But Wenger stressed: "As a manager you do not want a guy to be a star before he has delivered, and maybe here that is more difficult than anywhere else."
