Portsmouth's Jack Whatmough rejects claims he's Jack Wilshere's 'lookalike'

Portsmouth defender Jack Whatmough has rejected claims that he could easily pass for Jack Wilshere's doppelganger.

The 18-year-old defender has become a topic of conversation on social media after photos of him were compared to those of the Arsenal midfielder.

Many have suggested that the teenager looks like the England international wearing a blonde wig, but the defender has taken to Twitter to defend his look.

Whatmough tweeted: "why is everyone i saying I look like Jack Wilshere with a blonde wig 😫 look nothing alike 😂."
