Jack Wilshere believes that if Arsenal can end their trophy drought soon, it could pave the way for some more silverware in the coming years.

The Gunners' last trophy came in 2005, when they won the FA Cup, but since then it has been nothing but disappointment and fourth-place finishes for Arsene Wenger and his side.
This season seems to be following suit following a shock loss to League Two side Bradford City that saw them crash out of the League Cup and they currently sit in sixth place in the Premier League, a massive 18 points behind leaders Manchester United.
Arsenal face a stern test in Europe as well, and square-off against four-time winners Bayern Munich in the first knock-out round of the Champions League next month.
The FA Cup may once again prove to be the Gunners' best chance at the silverware they so desperately crave, and after their entertaining 2-2 draw with Swansea City on Sunday, Wenger's men must prevail in their replay with the Swans at the Emirates if they are to book their place in the fourth round.
The England International told Sky Sports: "We all want a trophy, as players, when you finish your careers you look back and see how many trophies you have won, so we all want trophies, and the fans want trophies as well.
"We are hungry for trophies and if we get a trophy this year, then maybe it can open the way for a few more. We have got a good group of young players here and experienced players as well.
"So, if we get a trophy this year or in the next couple of years, we can really build something over the next few years.
"Obviously it is easy to sit here and say that when we get one trophy it will happen, but we need to get that first trophy. We know how tough the FA Cup is this year and we are still in the Champions League as well.
"So we are in a good position, we just need to make sure we get the results now," said the 21-year-old.
