Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he will sit-down and talk with midfielder Jack Wilshere after he was pictured smoking outside of a club.
The English midfielder claims that he only put the cigarette in his mouth for a bet, but the Arsenal boss is not happy with the picture being made public knowledge.
The Frenchman believes it is not the right message to send to the fans and nor is it a healthy way to live and that is why he wants to talk to him about it.
“I don’t know really what happened [with Jack], I will need to have a chat with him about that,” said Wenger. “I disagree completely with that behaviour.
“There are two things: first of all when you are a football player you are an example, and as well you don’t do what damages your health.
“The fact [is] you can damage your health at home, you can smoke at home and you can drink at home, and nobody sees it, but when you go out socially you as well damage your reputation as an example.”
