„Barcelona“ star Xavi praised London's „Arsenal“ midfielder Jack Wilshere, calling him one of the best English footballers.
„Gunners“ player, often compared to the Catalonia team's „maestro“, this season almost got rid of the constant injuries that haunted him and in 19 matches for the club and national team proved to be a top-level midfielder.
The 22-year-old footballer received praise from Xavi because of this, who also spoke positively about other stars of the English national team.
„Barca“ veteran, asked by BBC who is his favorite English player, replied: „Hard question. They have many great footballers, but I think Jack Wilshere is wonderful.“
„Raheem Sterling has a bright future. There are also older men like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, and John Terry. They are part of England's history.“
Xavi also said he is a huge fan of the Premier League, but never regrets not playing there and takes pride in representing only one club throughout his career, just like former Southampton player Matt Le Tissier.
According to the midfielder, for example, „Liverpool“ is a great club with something special. But „Barcelona“ is his life and world.
