Jack Wilshere should leave Arsenal to become the complete player, says Gunners manager Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger believes a brief spell away from Arsenal will turn Jack Wilshere into the complete player.

The midfielder, who turns 18 on January 1, has been linked with a loan move to Burnley in the New Year.

Wenger has used Wilshere sparingly this season but will only send him away from the Emirates if he is guaranteed games.

And the Frenchman reckons a short-term move will benefit the youngster as it did Ashley Cole when he spent three months at Crystal Palace as a 19-year-old.
'[A loan spell] is like a finishing school,' Wenger told the Gunners' official website. 'It is what we call a post-education experience.
'The spell at Palace really gave Ashley the needed confidence and convinced everybody that he could play at the top level because he adapted straight away. Ten years later you think it was not a coincidence.'
Wilshere's move may have to wait a couple of weeks however, as fellow midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Denilson are struggling with injuries.
