Arsenal whiz Patino: Great to work with Wilshere when he was here

Arsenal whiz Charlie Patino admits Jack Wilshere has been offering him advice.

Wilshere spent time with Arsenal's academy this season before signing for AGF last month.

It was then when Patino had the chance to watch back what he described as the "best individual performance" he's ever seen with the man who delivered it.

The pair analysed Wilshere's remarkable Champions League showing against Barcelona back in 2011, with Patino telling Goal: "We watched that game together, Jack dominated against the likes of [Sergio] Busquets, Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta, so it was really good to watch it with him.

"We talked about the game and went through his highlights. He showed me things he does in a game that I may not do. It was an interesting chat. Being close to Jack while he was working at Arsenal was great. Having him around the building was massive for the youth players and a lot of people grabbed information from him."
