HARRY ARTER says Jack Wilshere will walk back into the England XI when he returns to Arsenal.
Wilshere lost his Three Lions place in August after joining Bournemouth on a season-long loan.
And he was also omitted from Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifying double-header against Malta and Slovenia.
But Cherries midfielder Arter insists the injury-hit Gunners star is already looking international class after starting the last three games.
Arter said: “I feel Jack is one of, if not England’s best, midfielders when he’s fit.
“He’s certainly fit at the moment. He’s shown his quality in what people might consider a lesser side for him.
“People could say he’s been at Arsenal and it’s easy in a team like that but he’s come here and he’s performing very well for us.

“And I have no doubt, when he does go away with them again, he’ll get straight back in that England side and show everyone he’s still an unbelievable player.”
Midfield ace Wilshere, 24, almost scored his first Bournemouth goal on Saturday at Watford, only to hit the woodwork twice.
His Cherries team-mate Andrew Surman said: “You can see he’s a class player, all his little touches, little things you maybe don’t notice.
“He’s great to play alongside, he’s technically very good. You can give him the ball anywhere on the pitch and he’ll keep it for you or create something.
“He deserved a goal at Watford but the main thing is his fitness — and he’s getting sharper with each game.”
