Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere has claimed Richarlison would not have made it into Mikel Arteta's starting XI if he joined the Gunners this summer - with the Brazilian completing his £60million move to rivals Tottenham.

Arsenal were among the teams interested in Richarlison - as well as Chelsea - but Wilshere says he is not disappointed to miss out on the star.
