Free agent Jack Wilshere has won the admiration of Arsenal's young players in training.

The 29-year-old has been without a club since he was released by Bournemouth at the end of last season and has previously revealed that him retiring from the game remains a possibility.

But manager Mikel Arteta has allowed Wilshere to join up with his charges in order to not only improve his own fitness, but to impart some wisdom on up and coming youngsters.

Bradley Ibrahim was one of a select few academy stars promoted into senior training during the most recent international break, with the manager keen to look at players from all levels within the club.

And in a recent Instagram story, the 17-year-old was asked the best player he has trained with, responding with Wilshere and Arsenal 's club record signing Ben White.
