Jack Wilshere has announced he's leaving Arsenal.

He has been in negotiations over a deal with the club for some months, but has called time on his career at the Emirates with a statement on Instagram.

In a statement, Wilshere said: "I can confirm that I will be leaving Arsenal Football Club when my contract expires at the end of June.

"Following a number of extensive conversations with those at the club, and in particular a recent meeting with the new manager, Unai Emery, I felt that I was ultimately left with little choice but to make the decision that I have due purely to footballing reasons.

"As has widely been reported I, along with my representative, have been in talks with the club for a number of months with the view to signing a new contract to extend my stay at the Emirates.

"My intention throughout these discussions has always been to remain an Arsenal player.

"I have been on the books at Arsenal for 17 years and have always felt part of the fabric of the club.

"Such was my desire to stay that I had in fact recently agreed a deal to sign a financially reduced contract in order to commit my future to the club."
