Wilshere: We’d be feared with Rooney

Jack Wilshere believes if Arsenal were to sign England team-mate Wayne Rooney it would strike fear into the hearts of their Premier League title rivals.

The Gunners are set to be busy in the summer transfer window, with the confirmation of the free transfer of France youth international attacker Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre confirmed last night.

Additional funds of more than £75million are understood to be available for manager Arsene Wenger as he aims to pull together a squad capable of mounting a long overdue sustained assault on the championship.
