Arsenal FC news: Jack Wilshere branded the ‘most overrated player on the planet’ by Roy Keane

Roy Keane has labelled Jack Wilshere ‘the most overrated player on the planet’ following his performance against Ostersund in the Europa League.

Wilshere, the England midfielder, captained Arsenal as they suffered a shock defeat at the hands of minnows Ostersund. The Gunners still progressed to the Europa League last-16 on aggregate, but Thursday’s 2-1 loss preceded further calls for Arsene Wenger to lose his job as manager.

The Swedish side scored twice in a minute midway through the first half to give them hope of completing a remarkable turnaround, though Sead Kolasinac’s strike just after the half-time break put the hosts back in control and eased the pressure Wenger’s men.
