"I feel good. I'm trying to get in the team but there are good players here. I'm happy with where I am. I'm enjoying my football and being back in an Arsenal shirt.

"We'll have to be better when we go to Manchester City. We'll go there full of confidence."

Red Star had a couple of chances to win the game, whilst Wilshere himself saw a chip cleared off the line, and after the game the Arsenal man said they would take a draw but they weren’t overly pleased.

"In the first half they were the better team. In the second half we were better. We'll learn from this. We want to win the group.
