Arsenal star can’t wait for the North London derby.

Jack Wilshere of Arsenal reacts during the Premier League 2 match between Arsenal v Manchester City at Emirates Stadium on August 21, 2017 in London, England.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is looking forward to the North London derby against Tottenham.

The former wonderkid is keen for Saturday’s game to be here already, sending a message to supporters via Instagram expressing his excitement.

Wilshere has barely featured in the Premier League this season for Arsenal and was snubbed by England boss Gareth Southgate over the past international break.

This could work to his advantage at club level, as it has given him two weeks solid training and preparation for this fixture.

We are ready. Let’s go Lads! #AFC

Derby matches often require the input of academy players with passion for the victors to win.

Tottenham have their talisman in Harry Kane, and Wilshere will be hoping he gets a chance to make an impact of his own at The Emirates.

Arsenal are four points behind their rivals heading into the match, and cannot afford a defeat.
