JACK WILSHERE has put his money where is mouth is — by betting Tottenham fans that Arsenal will finish above them.
The Gunners midfielder, who is out until the end of January after ankle surgery, reacted to gloating Spurs fans on Twitter last night.
Harry Redknapp's side went above Arsenal as they cruised past Aston Villa at White Hart Lane.
They are now three points ahead of their North London rivals with a game in hand.
But Wilshere, 19, is so confident Arsenal will end the season ahead of them, he made a bet with Tottenham fans.
He tweeted: "All Spurs fans buzzing that they are ahead of us in the league (for once). It's a marathon, not a sprint!
"I tell you what at the end of the season if Spurs finish above Arsenal I will give £3000 to charity.
"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!?"
The Jack Marshall charity was backed by footballers such as Wilshere, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney.
Football fan Jack died aged 6 last month after fighting a rare form of brain cancer since 2009.
Wilshere had grown close to Jack during the months before his death and said he was "privileged to have known him".
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger approved of Wilshere's bet, saying: "Jack made a contest.
"I hope the charity will get a lot of money because Tottenham have a lot of fans."
