Still feels the same as there's familiar faces here, reveals Jack Wilshere

Wilshere's career has been plagued by constant injuries which have hampered his development and hindered his ability to get consistent game time. The midfielder was released by West Ham and Bournemouth after leaving the London club as he struggled to establish himself in both teams and only made very few appearances representing both clubs. The Englishman was invited by current Gunners boss Mikel Arteta as he attempts to gain match fitness and find a new club when the winter transfer window opens. Wilshere admits that it was nice to be back in familiar surroundings surrounded by familiar faces.

“It still feels the same because as I said there's a lot of familiar faces around the place. Obviously, I’ve got a lot of friends that are still here, staff members, people who I haven’t seen since I left. So, it’s nice to be back and to see some familiar faces. But it’s also good to be back training with a good group of quality players at a good intensity,” Wilshere told Goal.
