Jack Wilshere has revealed he hopes to follow in the footsteps of Tony Adams and play for Arsenal throughout his career.
The midfielder has promised to see out his playing days with the north London club, where he has been since the age of nine. Wilshere, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, made his feelings for the club clear and admitted he wants to form a new dynasty at Emirates Stadium.
When asked if he wanted to remain with the Gunners 'forever', the 19-year old said: 'I promise that, yeah. I've been at the club since I was nine and learned to love it. 'From the [Patrick] Vieira days, to [Dennis] Bergkamp, [Cesc] Fabregas, I've watched them come through and move on. There's a crop of new players, [Aaron] Ramsey, myself, Kieran Gibbs…hopefully we can really create something special.
'I love the club and I want to be part of its future.'
Wilshere has had to sit by and watch his club struggle following the departures of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri. But after the comfortable win over West Brom, he England international hailed the performance as one of the Arsenal of old.
'We seem to get better and better every week,' he added. 'We had a bad start to the season and everyone knows that. I'm not going to lie and say we did well, we didn't. boys had to play together, they're new players some of them. We seem to be getting better and better every week.
On the up: Arsenal have escaped their early-season slump and are chasing down the top four
'[Against West Brom] was probably one of our best performances. We passed it around like the old Arsenal and we seem to be back to winning ways.' Wilshere also revealed his frustration having missed out on the whole campaign following surgery.
He added, to iFilm London: 'It's going really slow at the minute and obviously I'm really frustrated. I should be back in training by mid-December, then I can crack on and it's up to the boss when he picks me.
Frustrations: Wilshere hopes to return from injury in December
'It's massively frustrating, especially after last year when we were so close to winning a trophy. We beat Barcelona at home and everything seemed to be going well and it ended sadly.
'I was looking forward to this season, I really thought we could push on and do something. To get a setback is massively frustrating but I'll be back in December and hopefully we can push on from then.'

Robin van Persie has left the Dutch national squad to return to London after Arsene Wenger won a battle with Holland manager Bert van Marwijk to ensure Arsenal's top scorer is allowed rest in order to avoid injury.The Arsenal striker, who has scored 17 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions this season, has been withdrawn from the Holland game against Germany on Tuesday after playing 90 minutes in the 0-0 draw against Switzerland on Friday.
It is understood that Van Persie's blood analysis indicated the player required a rest and Van Marwijk said: 'Arsene asked me if I could please not play Robin in both games. I had a good talk with Wenger and we decided that Robin would play only on Friday. After that we would send him back to London. I won't use Robin against the Germans.' With Van Persie having suffered an ankle injury that kept him out for three months last season and Arsenal facing a crucial five weeks - with two games against Manchester City, one of which is a Carling Cup tie, and vital Champions League games against Borussia Dortmund and Olympiakos - Wenger will be delighted that the club's star striker has been given an easier workload.
