Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has hit back after pictures appeared to show him smoking a cigarette on a night out.
The 21-year-old had been publicly criticised by manager Arsene Wenger , and launched a counter-offensive by tweeting a picture of World Cup-winning midfielder Zinedine Zidane puffing on a cigarette.
Wilshere - whose spokesman earlier claimed that he was holding the cigarette as part of a prank - continued by clarifying:
"For the record...I don't smoke."
Despite the incident, boss Arsene Wenger insisted that Wilshere's place in the team is not at risk:
"He is a very important player here, you know. All my plans for the future at the club have always been built with Jack and around Jack. We had some setbacks with him - a lot - but he is a very important player in my squad."
