Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has reportedly admitted that he had made 'a mistake' after getting caught smoking last week, and promised never to smoke again.

Wilshere was photographed smoking outside a London nightclub following Arsenal's 2-0 Champions League victory over Napoli.

According to Metro.co.uk, although Wilshere initially tried to brush off his smoking as a 'dare' and also tried to make light of the incident on Twitter, however, he has now admitted that he has made a mistake, although he insisted that he is not a smoker.

Stating that smoking is not going to affect his career in the future, Wilshere said that he hoped that the incident would be the last one in his life, adding that he has sorted out the matter with boss Arsene Wenger, who has put him back in the team.
