Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has revealed the secret behind the side’s impressive away form as of late and has put it down to strong mentality and togetherness between the players.

The Gunners extended their 100% away record to seven games with a 3-1 victory against Sunderland on Saturday and it was their impressive away form that guided them to yet another fourth placed finish last season.

Speaking to the club’s official website, Wilshere believes the togetherness of the team is what makes them so hard to beat on their travels.

“I think we’ve carried that on from last season,” he told Arsenal Player. “There was a mentality at the end of last season where we had to win games. We had to get that fourth spot.

“We’ve carried that on into this season so far, especially with the away results. We seem to play really well away from home and hopefully we can take that form into the home games now as well.

“We all get on really well here. We’ve got a great set of lads and we’ve been together for four or five years now, most of us. We’re starting to build a real friendship and I think that’s shown on the pitch.”

The Gunners number-10 was also full of praise for their new number-11 after Mesut Ozil made a great start to his Arsenal career.

“He’s a top quality player,” Wilshere said.

“We play football and he’s going to fit in. He’s shown that after one game. There’s a lot more to come from him and if he can stay fit and get in that position a lot more, if we can get him on the ball behind their midfield, he’s going to cause the opposition a big problem and he showed that today.”
