Arsenal have held talks with Hale End academy graduate Jack Wilshere regarding a potential coaching role if recent reports are to be believed.
The north London outfit lost U23s manager Kevin Betsy and U18s boss, Dan Micciche, to Crawley Town this summer and Evening Standard have now reported that Wilshere has recently spoken to academy manager Per Mertesacker regarding the vacant positions.
However, Arsenal are said to be considering internal candidates, with several of the club's current staff reportedly held in high regard. The former England international is yet to officially hang up his boots, having played for Danish side Aarhus earlier this year but he has made it no secret of his desire to get into coaching one day.
