Arsenal ace Wilshere: Wenger deserves to be Champions League winner

Jack Wilshere says Arsenal's players want to win the Champions League for manager Arsene Wenger.

Despite qualifying for the tournament a record 17 consecutive years in a row with Arsenal, Wenger has never won it.

"For him, that would be the icing on the cake if you like," said Wilshere.

"He has been 17 years and had one final - he came close to winning that, he was unlucky, he had Lehmann sent off - so I think this is the one he really, really wants, as well as the Premier League, because he wants it for us. But if he gives the Champions League to us it will also be like a present [from us] to him if we win the Champions League."
