If Every Arsenal Player Was A Pokemon

Jack Wilshere – Growlithe

Given that he plays like a bulldog, Jack Wilsere had to be a Growlithe. Known for being fiercely loyal and defending his trainer (and team), Growlithe will also chase down any opponent, no matter the size. Even if that opponent is an afro-wielding Belgian.

When things get unpleasant, Jack Wilshere, and Growlithe too, will let out a roar to flush out the opposition and then get to work chasing that opponent out of Arsenal town.

Growlithe also has a very keen memory and never forgets a grudge. One Growlithe was even seen at a victory parade trash talking a Meowth from on top of the tour bus. Call it a perfect match.

One day, Arsenal will wield Arcanine in the middle of the pitch. A flaming inferno of a canine. All they need to do is keep Jack Wilshere healthy.
