Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere feels he has players capable of matching the success of senior player Bukayo Saka.

Saka has come right through the Gunners system to now star for the Gunners and England.

Wilshere told the London Evening Standard: Look at [Bukayo Saka]. He is arguably, in my opinion, England's best player, England's most dangerous player. He is affecting games in the Premier League. Really and truly I am not going to put pressure on B, but if I did he would handle it anyway, because he's the most humble kid in the world is there a better winger than B at the minute?

And he has come through our academy. That tells you how big the job is and how much pressure there is to put forward the next B.

Then after that, who's next? We have to look now. What's in my team? The U17s, U16s, but what's in the U14s, U13s? And that's a big job for everyone to do.

But with the vision of [academy manager] Per [Mertesacker], the way he sees things, I have no doubt that in a few years there will be the next one and then the next one."
