JACK WILSHERE is set to make his first start for new club Aarhus Gymnastikforening on Friday.
The ex-Arsenal midfielder joined the Danish side on Sunday and he’s getting thrown straight into the deep end in the club’s next game against Vejle BK, according to Sky Sports.
The 30-year-old hasn’t played a competitive game since leaving Bournemouth last summer.
But he should be match-fit after training with the Gunners over the last few months.
And if Mikel Arteta’s training sessions weren’t robust enough, Wilshere’s already started getting stuck in rehearsing with his new team-mates.
Earlier today, the fallen England hero was seen rubbing shoulders with AGF’s team members on the training pitch.
And despite the language barrier, he was visibly determined to make an impression on his new squad.
Armed with a look of steel etched on his face, the former Gunners icon can be seen going toe to toe with a member of AFG’s squad on the training ground.

In another pic, Wilshere can be seen being put through his paces along with his team whilst jogging.
While in a third snap, the 34-cap ex-England man is depicted passionately expressing himself with his arms outstretched in dialogue during the intense training session.
The images suggest Wilshere means business in what could be the last chance he has to salvage what’s left of his tumultuous career.
And it would be worth his while to make an impression during his spell in Denmark to hopefully get his wage packet increased.
It’s been revealed that Wilshere’s only on £5,000-a-week, SunSport understands.
That modicum sum means he won’t even be the highest earner at his new side – with AGF’s top earner said to be defender Frederik Tingager who earns around £6,700-per-week.
