Jack Wilshere is so confident that Arsenal will finish above Tottenham in this season's English Premier League that he has made a bet with rival fans.

The Arsenal midfielder says he will donate £3,000 to charity if the Gunners finish lower than Tottenham.

Third-place Tottenham lead Arsenal by three points. 19-year-old Wilshere was only 3 the last time Tottenham trumped its north London rivals.

Writing on Twitter, Wilshere says he expects Tottenham fans to reciprocate if Arsenal comes out on top.

Wilshere says "Send me a pound each and I will give it to charity."

Wilshere proposes giving to the Jack Marshall Brain Tumour Fund — a charity supporting children with cancer.
