Speculation as to who will replace Arsene Wenger as Arsenal manager has been rife for several years now, with the Gunners manager under increasing pressure following a 12 year run without a Premier League title.
However, one name that has NEVER cropped up as being a potential Gunners boss is Jack Wilshere, the midfielder who recently left the Emirates stadium on a season long loan due to a lack of first team opportunities.

Despite sending Wilshere to Bournemouth, Wenger insists the midfielder is a future Arsenal manager, in an interview ahead of the Gunners' Premier League game with Southampton, this weekend.
"I hope personally that he stays here his whole career.
"Certainly one day he will be in my [manger's] seat. He has a real football brain and understands football. You know really, it's in his genes. I see him in the future at this club of course. He will spend his life in football, he is a football man."

The 24-year-old is set to make his Bournemouth debut, this weekend as the Cherries take on West Brom. Despite not being able to guarantee him regular first team football after a horrific series of injuries curtailed the England international's progress, Wenger insists that Wilshere is still a "world class" talent. Will he be a world class manager, though?
