The England footballer spotted chatting up a mystery woman and smoking outside Dstrkt Club in London

First it was a sneaky shisha pipe, now Jack Wilshere and his Arsenal pals are getting a taste for kebabs, writes Dean Jones in the Sunday People.

But before boss Arsene Wenger blows his top, these kebabs are being served up as a culinary delight at the Gunners’ London Colney training ground.

And the club insists they are healthy creations rather than the usual fat-filled Friday night van specials that weigh in at around 1,800 calories.

In their latest club magazine, Arsenal chefs claim the chicken doner is “virtually fat free” and uses only the best ingredients.

And players love the treat – which is usually dished up as a starter.

News of the tasty treat comes after another series of smoking rows at the club.

Gunners midfielder Wilshere had to apologise to Arsene Wenger last week after he was pictured with a shisha pipe.

But in another controversial twist, £42.5million man Mesut Ozil was pictured over the weekend leaving a store having bought himself his own shisha.

Wenger denied that there was a smoking culture at the club, despite the recurring pictures of their stars with different smoking paraphernalia.
