Jack Wilshere has impressed fans watching Soccer Aid 2024 on Sunday, with England supporters suggesting the former Arsenal midfielder could even be useful for the Three Lions at Euro 2024.
Wilshere was a fan favourite at Arsenal, where he spent most of his career, but the former England midfielder was restricted by injuries and left the Gunners in 2018.
He went on to play for Bournemouth, West Ham and Danish side AGF but ultimately retired at the age of 30 due to his persistent injuries, having won 34 caps for England between 2010 and 2016.

In Sunday’s Soccer Aid 2024 clash between an England XI and a Rest of the World side, Wilshere left former Arsenal team-mate Petr Cech floored with a wonderful assist for Ellen White.
White was left with a tap-in after Wilshere had dragged the ball past Cech and centred for the Lionesses forward to become the first female scorer in Soccer Aid history.
And on X (formerly Twitter), fans suggested Wilshere could still play a role for an England side so often lacking a creator in Gareth Southgate’s time in charge.

“Have to stop those tackles going in on Wilshere, need to keep him fit for the Euros,” one wrote. “Wilshere should be heading to Euros,” another added. “I’d take Jack Wilshere to the Euros. Still mustard,” a third said.
