Jack Wilshere West Ham
Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has named ex-Tottenham star Mousa Dembele as his toughest opponent in his career so far.
In response, Jack Wilshere said: “Mousa Dembele at Tottenham. I played against [Lionel] Messi and [Andres] Iniesta but I used to play against [Mousa] Dembele a lot and I hated it.You couldn’t get the ball off him, he was strong, quick, powerful and also really good on the ball.His dribbling was a joke and he was difficult to play against.”
The Belgian midfielder spent six-and-a-half years at Spurs after signing for the north London side from Fulham, with Dembele making 250 appearances for Tottenham in all competitions before joining Chinese Super League side Guangzhou City.
Wilshere, who is now at Championship side Bournemouth, was asked who his toughest opponent so far was as part of an interview for the Cherries’ matchday programme for their clash with Watford today.
