Arsenal are reportedly interested in bringing Jack Wilshere back to the club as part of their ongoing search for youth coaches.
The Gunners have lost U23s boss Kevin Betsy and U18s coach Dan Micciche in recent weeks. With the former being named as the new head coach at Crawley Town in League Two, while Micciche will serve as his assistant.
It means wholesale changes for the club’s development structure and the Evening Standard report that Wilshere has held talks with academy director Per Mertesacker over the two roles. A number of other candidates are said to be under consideration, with Wilshere set to go up against highly-rated internal candidates.
