Arsene Wenger has described Jack Wilshere as "brave" and "talented" after the former Arsenal and England midfielder hung up his boots on Friday.
Wilshere called time on his professional career after leaving Danish side AGF earlier this month. The former Gunners prospect was regarded as one of the best young players in Europe a decade ago but injuries and a lack of form forced him to call it a day.
Wenger, who gave Wilshere his chance at the Emirates ahead of the 2010-11 campaign, has labelled the 30-year-old's retirement as a "sad moment". The ex-manager left Arsenal at the same time as the 34-cap England international, in the summer of 2018.
