Wilshere happy to play anywhere for Arsenal and England

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere insists he's happy anywhere in midfield after his superb performance in their draw with Manchester City.

Wilshere took the diplomatic line by stating he is happy in either midfield role, but his words also made his preference clear.

"Naturally I want to go forward more. In Arsenal's formation it's nice to play forward and in the England one it's different. I'm happy to play either way," Wilshere said.

"I want to score more goals and my goalscoring record hasn't been good enough.

"In the formation we play I should be scoring more goals. We play with one holding and two going forward and I'm the one who gets forward.

"I've had a few chances already this season and I should be scoring more. Hopefully that will be one of many."
