Wenger’s Wizards: Arsenal’s top five creative players this season

Jack Wilshere – 24

Another player, along with Ramsey, who has seemed invigourated since finding himself lining up next to Mesut Ozil, Wilshere has been in largely impressive form this term, able to add a driving urgency to his side’s attacks that no one else among the club’s band of architects can match.

Wilshere’s tenacious physicality, direct goalward dribbling and ability to execute the subtlest of passes while running at full-speed combine to offer a creative threat that is distinct from that of his team-mates. He is yet to show his best form over a prolonged stretch of games in the way Ramsey has, but one suspects that, once he does, his overall potential surpasses that of his fellow Brit.
