Cheeky Wilshere forgets RVP when hailing Arsenal legends to wear his No 10 shirt



New Arsenal No 10 Jack Wilshere has delivered a cheeky parting shot to Robin van Persie after hailing 'real club legends' to have worn the shirt, and not mentioning the Dutchman.



The former captain completed his £24million move to Manchester United on Friday, vacating the No 10 he had worn for two seasons.



Wilshere, who hasn't featured for the Gunners for more than a year through injury, has left his No 19 jersey for new boy Santi Cazorla and taking on a shirt number synonymous with the creative hub of attack.



Come in No 10: Jack Wilshere has inherited Robin van Persie's shirt at Arsenal

Before Van Persie, William Gallas bizarrely held the coveted spot, inheriting it from Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp after the Dutchman retired.



England international Wilshere, who hopes to be fit by the end of October, said: "It's such an honour for me. Getting the No 10 shirt again at the Club means so much to me as I wore it all through the youth teams at Arsenal.



'It has a special place for all attacking or creative players. I feel proud to wear it now after some real Club legends have worn it, such as Dennis Bergkamp.'



'Now I am even more excited about returning to action and honouring the shirt.'
