Wenger warns Wilshere over smoking
The England international was photographed with a cigarette while
celebrating following his side's 2-0 Champions League victory over
Napoli in midweek, and his French coach has now warned him over his
future conduct.
"I disagree completely with that behaviour - I
need to have a chat with him about that," Wenger said ahead of Arsenal's
trip to West Brom on Sunday.
"When you are a footballer you are
an example and you do not do things to damage your health… it can damage
your reputation as well.
"Things are different now. I've
travelled on the coach as a player in France when you could not see each
other because of smoke. But times have changed ... football players are
role models now."
Wenger, whose side lead the Premier League
after six games, refused to disclose what he will say to Wilshere and
whether disciplinary action will be forthcoming, but he went on to
insist that the 21-year-old remains a key member of his squad.
"He is a very important player here. My plans for the future involve Jack," he added.
