Jack Wilshere claims former Arsenal team-mate Santi Cazorla was the BEST player he ever played with... while admitting 'winner' Cesc Fabregas took training matches at the Gunners a bit too seriously

Jack Wilshere has surprisingly named former Arsenal team-mate Santi Cazorla as the best player he ever played despite featuring alongside a list of household names at the Gunners.

The midfielder played at Arsenal for 10 years up until leaving in 2018 having initially come through the club's academy system and developing into a fan's favourite.

During his time at the Emirates Stadium he played with a range of world class players including Thierry Henry, Robin van Persie, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Cesc Fabregas.

But the 29-year-old insists despite their skill, the technical brilliance of the pint-sized Cazorla left the former England international in awe.
