Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere reckons Wayne Rooney's arrival would help the Gunners end their trophy drought.

Manchester United striker Rooney has been linked with Arsenal during the summer, along with fellow forward Gonzalo Higuain and Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

But Wilshere believes the signing of his fellow England international from the Premier League champions would provide the biggest impact.

"If it happens, it would be amazing," he said.

"He is the type of player who can win you trophies - and just to see his name on the team sheet brings fear to the opposition. We could do with a little more of that.

"You look at the type of players like Higuain we are trying to bring in and you have got to be encouraged.

"I think we need a few more, not to step right into the team, but to add to the squad."

Wilshere, 21, believes adding quantity and quality to their ranks will be crucial if they are to bring silverware to Emirates Stadium.
