Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says former club progidy Jack Wilshere will definitely return to the club at a later date, most likely in a coaching capacity.

The midfielder played for Arsenal in the Premier League for ten years after bursting on to the scene in 2008, but his career was hampered by numerous injuries.

After unsuccessfully trying to get a long term deal at either of West Ham or Bournemouth, the 30-year-old has now moved to Denmark to play for AGF Aarhus.

Whilst answering questions in a press conference on Wednesday, Arteta said he “100 per cent” believes Wilshere might be back at the club soon. 

He said: “I think everyone at the club would be willing to open the doors for him and try to find a role for him that would work for everybody.

“I think that will happen naturally in the future.”

Arteta went ahead to thank Wilshire for all he had done for the club saying, “To enjoy watching him play next to us, to have him around, the inspiration that he is for all the young people. Hopefully we can help him – we have helped him a little bit as well – because he had some doubts with what to do, whether to start coaching or continue playing.”

“We wish him the best of luck,” he concluded.
