Kieran Tierney has hailed Jack Wilshere as a "hero" in a clear indication of the high regard the former Arsenal midfielder is held in by the squad.
Wilshere, 30, has been training with Mikel Arteta's side since the autumn despite the fact he has not been on the club's books since his contract expired in 2019.
The Englishman was let go by Bournemouth at the end of last season and the Gunners have offered him the chance to get his career back on track by training with Premier League players day in, day out.
