He obviously is an Arsenal man,” Wilshere said of Arsene Wenger.

“He built that training ground, he knows everything that happens there. He’s built it into a successful place where winning was just the way of life.”

“He created that winning mentality, so I think Mikel – I read his comments, he said he wants him close to him.”

“When anyone, especially in my era, thinks of Arsenal, it’s Arsene Wenger. I think it would be a good thing to have him back at the club.”
