After speculation and failed moves for high profile targets
this summer, the midfielder defended his manager and branded the criticism
ridiculous.
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has vehemently backed
under-fire manager Arsene Wenger and suggested he could be willing to leave the
club if the Frenchman departed.
Wenger has come under scrutiny after failing to land
high-profile transfer targets such as Luis Suarez, Gonzalo Higuain and Luiz
Gustavo and the London side's misery was further compounded by a 3-1 defeat on
the opening day of the Premier League season at home to Aston Villa.
But England international Wilshere leapt to his manager's
defence and, despite signing a new five-year deal in December, said he would
consider his own future at the club if Wenger were to leave.
"I want to win things with Arsenal and I want to be
there in the future," Wilshere, 21, told Zapsportz.com. "But if the
boss leaves then things could change.
"Arsenal are always in my heart and by signing a
deal for the next five years (it) shows my commitment to them and their
commitment to me, so at the moment everything is good.
"Arsene Wenger has been there for so many years and
he's always delivered trophies. We've had a little dip in the last five or six
years, but he's a great manager and people who question his ability are
ridiculous.
"He's qualified for the Champions League for 16
years so I think he's the right man for the job."
