Midfielder Jack Wilshere said he will leave Arsenal this summer, saying he was left with "no option but to pursue other opportunities". Wilshere broke the news on his Instagram account on Tuesday and also posted a video of his time at the club, reports Xinhua news agency. Wilshere made his first-team debut in 2008 to become Arsenal's youngest-ever league player at 16. He went on to make 197 appearances with the club while also spending time on loan with Bolton and Bournemouth.

According to earlier reports, Wilshere might lose his starting role next season under Arsenal's new manager Unai Emery. "I can confirm that I will be leaving Arsenal when my contract expires at the end of June," Wilshere wrote.
