Former Chelsea man Arjen Robben believes that Jack Wilshere could follow in the footsteps of Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and others in leaving Arsenal for a club that is regularly hunting trophies.

The midfielder has been a shining light in another turbulent season for Arsene Wenger’s team and should they miss out on Champions League football, Wilshere might leave the club to pursue silverware.

The Bayern forward told the Daily Star: “I don’t know if Arsenal can keep him if they are not winning things. It’s always difficult to judge that about another player.

“But you can see that Wilshere is a very big talent and he is only young still. He’s just 21 years old. He will definitely be a big player.”
