Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Jack Wilshere is well on the way to becoming the complete midfielder after his goal knocked Swansea City out of the FA Cup.
The England international scored the only goal of a 1-0 win four minutes before the end of a third-round replay at the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger had deployed Wilshere, 21, in a central attacking role instead of his usual deeper, more defensive position and was rewarded with an outstanding performance as well as the well-taken goal.
"Jack played in a different position tonight, a bit higher up and it suited him," Wenger said. "There was a better team balance.
"A complete midfielder can defend and attack and Jack can also dribble and give a final ball so the closer players like him are to the goal the better it is for them. He has quality and enthusiasm - and a love for the game, which is the most important thing for me."
Wilshere has been a member of the Arsenal first-team pool for only just over three months as his career was put on hold for nearly 18 months by serious injuries to an ankle and then a knee.
