Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has stated that he is looking forward to playing at the World Cup in Brazil, after winning the FA Cup on Saturday.

The England international came off the bench at Wembley to help the Gunners beat Hull City after extra time and end their nine-year trophy drought.

Wilshere has said that he will look to impress during England's training camp in Portugal this week.

"I feel ready and sharp for Portugal I am going to enjoy the cup, then enjoy the parade, and then hopefully go on to England," Goal.com quotes him as saying. "This is my first feeling of winning something and there is no better feeling.

"I have been training for three weeks. I haven't been in the squad because we agreed with the manager that it was right that I got a good base fitness.

"So I have been in the last two squads and I have played 45 minutes altogether. I feel fresh and a good week of training in Portugal will do me good."

England begin their World Cup campaign against Italy in Manaus on June 14.
