Arsenal boss Arteta happy for Wilshere over Aarhus move

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is happy for Jack Wilshere over his move to Aarhus.

The former England midfielder had spent the season training with the Gunners on a non-contract basis before last week agreeing a deal to join top-flight Danish club Aarhus until the summer with the option to extend.

Arteta believes his time at the club over the past few months has reminded him about how 'magnificent' playing the sport is.

"First of all thank you, it's been great to have had him," Arteta said ahead of Arsenal's match against Wolves on Thursday.

"Hopefully we have helped him a little bit as well. This group of players have given him that experience again on a daily basis how magnificent it feels to be a football player."
