Jack Wilshere happy with competition

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere believes the competition at the club is healthy and good for all the players, even if it means some of them sitting out of games.

The English midfielder had to settle for a place on the bench against Napoli on Tuesday night in the Champions League and only made a brief cameo at the end during the 2-0 win.

After the game, Arsene Wenger said that Wilshere was only on the bench to keep his fitness levels up, but the midfielder knows that competition for places is high this season and he is looking forward to challenging his team-mates.

“I have played a lot of games recently, so I was just happy to get on and help at the end,” explained Wilshere. “It was just a formation thing. I am feeling fine, Tomas Rosicky is coming back from injury and he needed a game.

“It is exciting. We still have Santi Cazorla to come back, so we are going to have a great squad.

“If we can keep everyone fit, we are going to be real contenders in all four competitions. We have not really had this over the last few years, all of this competition for places. We are all excited and we just have to keep it up now.”

“When I broke into the team, it was similar,” he said. “There was Fabregas, Diaby, Song, players like that. It brings the best out of me and it will bring the best out of the other players as well.”
