Jack Wilshere saw his young Arsenal team win 8-1 against West Ham today and he was delighted with a few players in particular.
Wilshere is doing a fine job of nurturing the Arsenal youngsters at the moment and he saw it all come together today as they battered the Hammers youth 8-1.
Young superstar striker Chido Martin-Obi once again caught the headlines, as he hammered in five goals to continue his fine form at youth level.
Indeed, Wilshere praised the performance of Martin-Obi and admitted the teenager is really showing a big improvement in his game right now.
However, it wasn’t just Martin-Obi who impressed.
Speaking about another young star emerging at London Colney, Wilshere had some high praise for 17-year-old forward, Osman Kamara.

Kamara himself got himself two goals in the eight-goal rout today.
And lauding the youngster after the game, his manager Wilshere admitted that the 17-year-old is exactly what Arsenal are looking for in a young player.
“I love Ozzy, and I’ve loved him ever since I’ve come into this job. He’s got the mentality that we talk about, and he’s improved so much.
“Today, we saw the real Osman, the one who’s free and ready to get on the ball and take on his man,” Wilshere said.
Kamara is among a massive group of youngsters at Arsenal right now who are trying to plot their path forward.
The likes of Kamara and Martin-Obi will take heart from the likes of Bukayo Saka starring at first-team level and they’ll be keen to follow him.
Indeed, their manager, Wilshere, was a product of the Hale End academy and he is very much the right figurehead for the young Gunners to have in charge right now.
Osman Kamara, then, will be hoping to keep up with the form of Martin-Obi and show there is more than just one brilliant young attacker in the 18s right now.
