Jack Wilshere is targeting a long run in the starting XI after impressing in Arsenal’s thrilling draw with Liverpool.
Wilshere has featured in all of Arsenal's Europa League games this season but made just his third Premier League start of the campaign in the 3-3 draw with Jurgen Klopp's men.
"I feel good and I have said for ages that I want to be playing in the Premier League," Wilshere said.
"I've played a lot of games in the Europa League and built my fitness up.
"I was patient and we've now got a few injuries and I've managed to get a few games in but I am happy and I want to stay in the team now.
"It's a busy schedule over Christmas. There are a lot of games where we are going to need all of the squad so I am happy."
Arsenal boss Wenger was pleased with Wilshere's performance and says the England midfielder in in excellent physical condition.
"He's better now than he was in the last two or three years," Wenger added.
"I think he is positive overall and is in a very good shape at the moment."
