Jack Wilshere has hailed his former teammate Cesc Fabregas as the “best football brain I know” after he visited the Arsenal training ground.
Fabregas returned to London Colney this week to link up with Wilshere and share his knowledge with the Arsenal under-18 side. Wilshere became manager of the Gunners youth side in the summer after announcing his retirement from playing, aged 30.
His ex-Arsenal midfield partner Fabregas is still playing aged 35 for Serie B side Como, but is currently enjoying a mid-season break. That has allowed him time to visit his old club and reconnect with Wilshere, who has been blown away by his advice.
