Arsene Wenger is ready to give Jack Wilshere the chance to be Arsenal's main man in midfield next season.
The Gunners' boss believes Wilshere has got huge potential to play the midfield anchorman role.
That is one area where Wenger had been looking to strengthen his squad this summer, but it now looks increasingly likely he will resist making another big signing in that department.
Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini filled the role last season and Wenger has been eyeing Sami Khedira of Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen's Lars Bender.
But unless a remarkable deal crops up, Wenger is now unlikely to sign another midfielder as he believes they have enough already - with Wilshere the choice to be groomed in a deeper-lying role.
England boss Roy Hodgson is also looking for a replacement for retired skipper Steven Gerrard in that area, and Wilshere is desperate to nail down a regular place for club and country.
Wenger now has a wealth of midfielders, with Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, Mesut Ozil, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and the fit-again Abou Diaby
