Arsenal midfielder Wilshere signs for Pele's management firm

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has joined Pele's sports management firm.

The Daily Mail says Wilshere can tap into advice from the greatest footballer in history after becoming the first client of a new sports agency in which Pele is a partner.

Wilshere wears the No 10 shirt at Arsenal - the same as the Brazil legend - which helps explain why the sports management agency is called 10Ten Talent.

The business has been formed by Terry Byrne, a former personal manager of David Beckham who also heads the England players' representative business 1966.

Byrne works with former Spurs director Paul Kemsley, who manages Pele's commercial rights business. He said: "Obviously Jack can't be mentioned as being anywhere near the same league as Pele, but hopefully one day he will."'
