'We disagreed a few times' - Wilshere says Wenger didn't play him in preferred position at Arsenal

Jack Wilshere says that he and Arsene Wenger didn't see eye to eye on his best position as the long-time Arsenal midfielder says he preferred to be played in a deeper role.

Wilshere was with Arsenal from 2001 until 2018, having made his senior debut for the club in 2008 after coming up through the academy. The midfielder made 197 total appearances for the Gunners, although injuries derailed his later years with the club.

Now at West Ham, Wilshere has revealed that he feels he wasn't always played at his best position, with Wenger often playing him higher up the field than he would have liked.
