Jack Wilshere has been appointed as Arsenal's U18 coach.

The former Gunners midfielder recently announced his retirement from football at the age of 30.

Wilshere said: "It's a huge honour to have this role. It's no secret that I love this club.

"I love what we stand for and a big part of my life was spent in this academy, some of the best days of my life.

"This is a big opportunity for me and I'm ready. I'm hungry and can't wait to help these young players thrive and be the best they can be on and off the pitch."
