        As rumours swirl about Mesut Ozil's future, Man United are reportedly the top destination for the playmaker.

The calls for Jack Wilshere to be included in Arsenal's Premier League lineup are growing stronger with every game the midfielder plays in the team's cup competitions.
Arsene Wenger has so far decided to hold Wilshere back from the intensity of the English league, easing him back gradually from the broken ankle he suffered toward the end of last season. But after Wilshere was Arsenal's standout performer for the second Europa League game in a row -- helping create a stunning winner from Olivier...

Paul Mariner weighs in on Jack Wilshere's retort to Troy Deeney after the Watford forward called Arsenal's character into question.

The Gunners need to get back on track, having suffered their third defeat of a still young season on Saturday, losing 2-1 in the final minutes against Watford; Everton did at least avoid defeat last weekend, but their performance in a 1-1 draw against Brighton was so anaemic that they took no pleasure in their point.
