Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has just a year left on his current contract and has conceded he has worries over what will follow his career.
“He is a special talent and the Premier League is a better place now he is in it”.

“He had a little setback recently but its looks very minor and of course for us to have a great season it is important to have a great Jack Wilshere”.
“He’s been around for years and I’ve played against him when he was making his debut for Switzerland at Wembley and you could tell then he had something about him”.
