Former Arsenal and England player Jack Wilshere has joined Danish side AGF Aarhus after eight months without a club. The 30-year-old was training with the Arsenal this season and he was also doing some coaching duties after struggling to find a new team after his release by Championship club Bournemouth in May.

Speaking on his new deal, the playmaker said: “I am in a place in my career where I need to get started again after a difficult period.” ”AGF offered me that opportunity.” Jack Wilshere also said: “For that, I am very grateful, and I will do everything I can to live up to the expectations.”
“Since I started training with Arsenal, I have never hidden the fact that it was to be ready for 2022 and for a new club,” he said. “Now the right club is here, and it will be an exciting new challenge for me.” “I am very much looking forward to contributing to the team. I’m physically in really good shape and I feel fit, so now for me, it’s about getting into the squad and see if I can earn some playing time for the club.”
He will be wearing the number 10 shirt for the club. He has only played 36 games since leaving Arsenal in 2018. AGF, who last won a trophy in 1996, are seventh in the Danish Superliga. He made 197 appearances for Arsenal and won 34 caps for England but many expected more of him.
