To be compared to an England international would please any up and coming youngster. However, 18-year-old Jack Whatmough isn't too impressed.

The Portsmouth centre back, who extended his professional contract with Pompey until 2017 earlier this year, has been likened to Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.

However, the comparison of their playing styles hasn't been discussed with thousands of football fans instead claiming Whatmough looks like the Gunners star... in a blonde wig.
