Jack Wilshere has complete confidence the good times will return to Arsenal.

Wilshere believes that he has time on his side as Arsenal attempt to become title challengers again.

He told the Mail on Sunday: "Over the past few years the top players have probably thought they don't see a bright future at Arsenal but it's different for them. They were a bit older than me. I'm 20. I've still got a long way to go in my career. Players like Robin are older and maybe he thought: "I haven't got time any more". We've got other young players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kieran Gibbs. In the next three or four years they can become top players and we can challenge for everything.

"With young players, there is an enthusiasm that you don't get with older ones. It's natural that you feel excited about the future. Don't get me wrong. It's not just going to happen. We will have to work hard. We're not where we want to be yet."
