Arsenal player, Mesut Ozil has gotten a rare appraisal from fellow teammate, Jack Wilshere who described his arrival at the Emirate two years ago as a massive lift for the club. He told the club’s website that it was hard to believe that manager, Arsene Wenger had managed to sign the German. 
” I watched Ozil for years. He started off young and went to a big club like Real Madrid. I think we knew what sort of player Mesut was. His history as a player and the clubs he has played for… to bring him in to play with us was massive,” 
“I remember watching (the TV on) transfer deadline day and seeing that Arsenal were interested in Mesut Ozil, and you almost didn’t believe it. When he arrived, the players were buzzing and the fans were buzzing and I think that gave us all a massive lift.
“I remember watching him a few times and thinking that this player really understands football. You can tell he really understands football and to play alongside him is something special.”

Hairline cracking rules Wilshere out for several weeks

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been ruled out for several weeks due to a hairline crack to his left fibula he suffered while training for the community shield game with Chelsea.
Manager of the club,  Arsene Wenger affirmed that the 23-year would be out for several weeks in a statement on the club’s website.

“The information you have heard about Jack Wilshere is right,” Wenger told Arsenal’s official website. “I had a bad surprise because it is a hairline crack in his fibula that makes him a few weeks out. “There is minimal damage apart from the bone damage — there is no damage at all apart from that. It was a collision in training and it was all completely accidental.”
The midfielder missed a large part of last season after suffering ankle ligament damage and then undergoing minor surgery to remove some studs on the pins in the bone. Wilshere, who made 14 Premier League appearances in 2014-15, is now set to miss the beginning to the Gunners’ season, which starts on Sunday at home to West Ham.
He could also be absent for England’s forthcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Switzerland on Sept. 5 and Sept. 8 respectively.

Jack Wilshere reacts to his FA charge.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere who just got charged by the FA following his anti-Tottenham chanting during his club’s FA Cup victory parade has described his punishment as harsh. Speaking to mirror.co.uk, the 29 year-old said: 
“Yes, that’s one way of looking at it, but at the same time people have been giving me a lot of stick for having some fun and enjoying myself at the end of the season. We’ve worked hard all year and we’ve won a trophy. That’s the best feeling in the world. No matter what job you do, if at the end of the year you get a promotion and a bonus, you’re going to go out and celebrate. So I think that side of things was a bit harsh. I am quite proud of always having had that bond with the Arsenal fans since I was young because I came through the club.

“I grew up at Arsenal and I love the fans, but believe it or not, I’ve actually got family who are Tottenham fans so it’s nothing
personal against them, it was just a bit of fun. I found out about the charge when I met up with England. One of the press officers told me. It was a surprise. I didn’t know I’d been charged so I was like, ‘what?. It’s being dealt with by the FA and my club. What will be, will be.”
