Arsenal have been warned against signing Gareth Bale this summer, as Jack Wilshere believes he would hinder the Gunners.
Bale is available on a free transfer this summer after the end of his contract at Real Madrid.
He has been linked with a move back to the Premier League, with a return to Tottenham touted as a potential destination.
Former Arsenal midfielder Wilshere was asked if the 32-year-old would be a good addition to Mikel Arteta’s team, but he believes the Wales star is not good enough at this point in his career.
Wilshere told talkSPORT:
I look at the players who would be playing in that position and they’re young players who have arguably been Arsenal’s best players over the last few years.
So one, I don’t think he gets a game. And if he does, I think he’d be holding one of those players back.
Bale has been linked with a return to Spurs, the club he left to join Madrid in 2013.
He returned to the north London team in 2020 on a loan deal before seeing out the final year of his contract at Madrid last season.
As well as Spurs, Bale has been linked with a return to Southampton, where his professional career began.
