I like this player. With a little polishing he will be a decent player.

Good luck to him.

Arsene Wenger has cited the USA and Asia as football's rising powers, claiming the vastly-improving MLS will produce more Premier League players.

The Arsenal boss spoke to ArsenalTV about the imminent arrival of FC Dallas midfielder Brek Shea on temporary trial with the north London club, and the Frenchman is in little doubt that further players will cross the Atlantic.

'Two aspects of the development of the game that will certainly influence the modern game,' he said.


Rising in status: Wenger predicts Asia and America will produce quality players in the not-too-distant-future

'One will come from the States, where football is becoming more and more popular and the quality is raising. That’s one part that will interest the modern game. The second big part I’m convinced will be Asia.


'These are two now countries or continents that will be I think the future of the game. And America will produce more and more top level players and Asia as well.

'And in these two countries and continents we have as well an aptitude to have a team attitude and hard-working attitude and I think once they get the education which we are starting to get, they will produce good players.'
On trial: Shea (centre)

21-year-old Shea is to train at London Colney following the USA's friendly fixtures against France and Slovenia.

He is one of three players in contention for the MLS MVP award.

He will return to Dallas next month, but Wenger is hoping to show him what it takes to be a Premier League player.

'(He will) practice with the top team when it’s possible, practice with the best prospects of the club as well outside the normal sessions and have a contact with top level football in the world and there’s no better place than the Premier League to do it,' he said.

And Wenger also hinted that Shea could make an outing for Arsenal reserves.

'If it’s possible I would like to do it,' he said.
