Arsenal boss Arteta explains Wilshere decision

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says they won't be making an offer to Jack Wilshere.

Wilshere, 30, who spent two decades at Arsenal, has been training with his former club after becoming a free agent in the summer.

But Arteta said on Friday: "I was very clear with the situation with Jack and the role that he was going to have being around here and we continue the same way."

The Spaniard was more coy over possible moves for Real Sociedad forward Alexander Isak and Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.

But he said: "We have to maximise every window. We are alert. If it is the right player and we can afford it, we will discuss it. We are open."
