Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is questioning the club's decision to let legend Steve Bould leave the club.
Bould, who played for Arsenal and in first team coaching staff as assistant to Arsene Wenger for six years, has been coaching the club's Under-23 side since 2019.
But now he is set to leave the club, with academy manager Per Mertesacker having this to say in an official statement:
"Steve has been a fantastic servant for us on and off the pitch.
"His record as a player speaks for itself and he has been an inspiration to generations of young players coming through the academy.
"This has been a very hard decision to make. Steve's contribution to the under-23s and the club as a whole has been huge and he will always be an important figure in our history."
Wilshere tweeted after the news broke: "Can't believe it. Another proper Arsenal man gone! What is going on??
"What a coach and what a guy… All the best bouldy."
