Jack Wilshere's biography is filled with many unforced injuries. It is like Ginaro Gatuzo rushing into a crazy tackle from match to match, valiantly defending the honor of the team, which cannot fail to bribe true fans of dedicated and contact football.
Unique playmaker features
Jack Wilshire is a universal type of footballer whose main position is a midfield center. He knows how to play both in the reference zone, performing rough work, and in the attack zone, helping attackers to ensure interaction near and inside the penalty area. Sometimes excessive universalism prevents players from reaching their potential, but for Jack this is undoubtedly his best quality. He can do absolutely everything: the most accurate passes, safety net, one-on-one beat, an accurate biting blow with relatively outstanding physical data make the player dangerous in any match against any team.
Early debut
Jack Wilshire is the record holder as the youngest player to enter the field at the Arsenal T-shirt at the age of 16, ahead of Cesc Fabregas. Once the head coach of the “gunners” noticed a talented boy in training the youth squad and took note. As soon as possible, Jack was transferred to the main team and on September 13, 2008 he first replaced in the English Premier League match against Blackburn in the 84th minute.
He managed to score his first goal just 10 days later in the League Cup match against Sheffield United. Also, Wilshire was given a chance to prove himself in the Champions League against the Dynamo Kyiv and Porto teams. Even then, the player was predicted a great future, anticipating how they would see him stably playing for the main team paired with central midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
Professional career
A year after the debut on January 5, Jack Wilshire signed his first professional contract with Arsenal. But immediately after this, the player went to play for the reserve and the youth team, gain football experience and finally prove his worth to the coaching staff.
Playing there, Jack managed to win the title of champion of the Youth Cup of England. Subsequently, the footballer reached only 2 matches in pre-season training, both times becoming the best player. But high competition in the main team did not allow to break into the starting application for the official match of the Premier League, and on January 29, 2010 head coach Arsene Wenger sent him to Bolton for rent for 1 season.
In the new club, Jack never slowed down his momentum and continued to delight fans with his game, scoring his first goal in the English Premier League on March 6, 2010 to his favorite West Ham United team.
Having played half the season, Wilshire returned to the Gunners camp in the summer. Injuries leading central midfielders allowed him to take a place in the starting lineup. Thanks to this, the collection of goals was replenished with the first ball in the Champions League and the championship of England for Arsenal on November 19 and 27, respectively. A new contract for the club was signed on November 1, 2010, from that moment Jack regularly appeared in the main team for a whole season.
Injuries
During the summer pre-season preparations of 2011, Jack Wilshere suffered a fatal ankle injury, which, moreover, knocked him out of action for the entire season, also affected throughout his subsequent football years. The next damage to the same part of the body overtook him on March 3, 2013. This greatly influenced his further development as a player, because twice in his career he had to not play football for a year.
In the summer of 2018, Jack signed a contract with Aston Villa, which many have called farewell to the football player, as one of the main stars in European football. Now he is 27 years old, and who knows, maybe his rise is planned a little later than most of the top players?
