World Cup 2010 news: Take Wilshere, says Owen Coyle
13/04/2010
Jack Wilshere would be a useful addition to England's squad for World Cup 2010, according to Owen Coyle.
The Bolton Wanderers manager has worked with the youngster day in, day out since January after he joined on loan from Arsenal and is convinced Wilshere has what it takes to become a star of the future for the Three Lions.
He accepted that England boss Fabio Capello is certainly not short of midfield options, with the likes of Gareth Barry, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard all likely to feature at World Cup 2010.
Despite this, Coyle still feels the Italian should include Wilshere in the World Cup squad.
"I am biased because I work with Jack on a daily basis, but I would take him with England," the Trotters gaffer said. "He is so pleasing to the eye on the ball … and there are goals in him, too."
The 18-year-old has featured ten times for Bolton and scored his first ever Premier League goal in the club's 2-1 victory over West Ham.
