Jack Wilshere says he is relishing an exciting new chapter in his career after signing for Danish Superliga side Aarhus Gymnastikforening.
Wilshere has agreed a sixth-month contract with AGF, with the option of a further year.
The 30-year-old former Arsenal and West Ham midfielder is moving to Denmark to resurrect his career after eight months without a club since leaving Bournemouth last summer.
Wilshere has been training with Arsenal in recent months and has explained his decision to join AGF, who currently sit seventh in the Danish top-flight
“Since I started training with Arsenal, I have never hidden the fact that it was to be ready for 2022 and for a new club.
“Now the right club is here, and it will be an exciting new challenge for me. I am in a place in my career where I need to get started again after a difficult period and AGF have offered me that opportunity.
“For that I am very grateful, and I will do everything I can to live up to the expectations.
“I am very much looking forward to contributing to the team.

“I’m physically in really good shape and I feel fit, so now for me it’s about getting into the squad and see if I can earn some playing time for the club and contribute to get some wins.”
Wilshere, who will wear the No10 shirt, will train with the AGF squad for the first time on Monday as they prepare for an away game against Vejle Boldklub on Friday.
