Wilshere to make Arsenal return
Jack Wilshere could be making a big return to Arsenal’s coaching staff.
The former midfielder, previously the club’s under-18s boss before leaving for Norwich, is a leading candidate to take over the under-21s.
There is a vacancy because previous manager Mehmet Ali has joined Brentford as part of Keith Andrews’ first-team staff.
Wilshere, 33, was caretaker manager at Norwich for the final two games of the season.
He wanted the job on a permanent basis but left the club after being told he would not get it.
In July 2022, four days after announcing his retirement from playing, Wilshere was announced as the new head coach of Arsenal under-18s and he led them to the final of the 2022-23 FA Youth Cup final.

Charlie Patino has advised Arsenal Boy Wonder Max Dowman to stay grounded and humble ahead of a potential Premier League debut.
The former Arsenal star told SunSport: “I’d say to him to keep your head down, be grounded, be humble.
“Listen to the people around you. Listen to the players who’ve got a lot more experience.
“He’s a lot younger than me. I’ve seen a few clips and he looks like a very quality player.
“At an age like that, we don’t want to put too much pressure on him.
“It’s all about timing. Time will tell where he gets to. I wish him all the best in what he does.”
