Arteta sends open invitation to Wilshere

With Arsenal not looking like a serious contender this season even after the heavy investment made during the recent summer transfer window, the Gunners manager, Mikel Arteta, has sent an open invitation to Jack Wilshere.

Arteta in his statement stressed that Wilshere was welome to come and train with his squad.

This comes as Wilshere currently is still on the search of a new club after he was released by Bournemouth.

Recall that the former England international left the Championship side at the end of last season and at a point trained with Serie B side, Como.

However, he was unable to join them fully as the deal couldn’t be completed because the English midfielder doesn’t have an EU passport.

At some point in his career, Wilshere, 29, was tipped to be the next big English talent but owing to incessant injuries, he has been unable to make it to that point.

Arteta was asked on Thursday if Wilshere could train at their London Colney facility, and he said: “He is someone that I know who I shared the dressing room with, who is so loved around the club with every person here, and our doors are always open.”

Arteta and Wilshere used to be teammates at Arsenal, and this perhaps could be an invitation for the English midfielder to rejoin the Gunners and savage his career.
