Shkodran Mustafi stepped in as Jack Wilshere was pressed on his fitness levels following Arsenal’s 3-2 victory at Crystal Palace.
Wilshere started in the side’s 3-3 draw with Liverpool last week and played the full 90 minutes as the Gunners held off a late charge from Palace at Selhurst Park on Thursday evening.
The England midfielder provided a superb assist for Alexis Sanchez’s second goal in the 66th minute and was widely praised for his performance.
Following Arsenal’s win, Wilshere was asked: ‘Another game under your belt…are you back to your old best yet?’
‘They love that question,’ Mustafi responded after a brief pause from Wilshere.
The Englishman insists he’s enjoying his football despite the fact he’s yet to sign a new deal at the Emirates.
He continued: ‘I was happy with my form last year but I’m probably better now.
‘I feel better, I feel fitter and getting better each game.
‘I’m enjoying my football. It’s another game and another three points so I’m happy.’
