Sunday Supplement: Jack Wilshere incidents 'exasperating' for Arsenal
Monday 9 February 2015 09:11, UK
Arsenal are becoming increasingly "exasperated" with Jack Wilshere after another 'smoking' incident, reckon the Sunday Supplement panel.
The England international, currently sidelined through injury, was photographed this week with a shisha pipe and has previously been caught ‘holding’ a cigarette outside a nightclub, as well as being pictured smoking while on holiday in Las Vegas.
Jeremy Wilson of the Daily Telegraph said: "I think the sense was that they are not very happy behind the scenes (at Arsenal), that they’re pretty exasperated.
"I think it's because it has happened a few times – he’s had a few of these off-field things. And he’s been injured a lot, although he is due back this month."
The 23-year-old has suffered multiple injury lay-offs and has only managed to play 95 league games in the seven years since his debut.
Wilson added: "It’s a bit like Rooney, when he burst onto the scene he looked as good as the Barcelona midfielders.
"You just wonder how these things make a difference in the long run in regards to how they look after themselves.
"He’s clearly going to have a really good career, but will he have a great career?"
