Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has made a bet with a number of Tottenham Hotspur supporters.

Spurs are third in the Premier League table following yesterday's 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at White Hart Lane.

That result led the 19-year-old Gunners player to write on Twitter: "All spurs fans buzzing that they are ahead of us in the league (for once). It's a marathon, not a sprint!"

The England international than went one step further by challenging the Spurs faithful to a bet.

"I tell you what at the end of the season if spurs finish above arsenal I will give £3000 to charity and if arsenal finish above spurs every spurs fan that follows me must send me a pound each and I will give it to @Jack_Marshall_ charity! Do we have a deal THFC fans!?," he added.

Wilshere is currently suffering with an ankle injury and is not expected to return until mid-January.
