The image showed Wilshere, 25, as a teenager when he was in the Arsenal academy.

He wrote: "TBT to the digs days and living with the mad man Wojciech Szczesny.

"Can't believe he let me have my hair like this."

Wilshere and Szczesny have been great pals since coming through the ranks together in north London - they spent three years together in the youth teams before making their first-team debuts.

But Polish goalkeeper Szczesny, who is now Gianluigi Buffon's No 2 at Juventus, hit Wilshere with a brutal barb in the comments section.

He wrote: "Was that when you were still good at football?"

Wilshere, of course, once one of English football's brightest hopes, has endured a torrid time in recent years.

Constant injury trouble has seen him miss more than 150 games in the last six seasons.

With just a year left on his contract, there are questions whether Arsene Wenger will extend his stay at the Emirates.

Szczesny's reply had fans in stitches, however, and it was surely meant in good humour.

One wrote: "Cold, ice cold bro."

Another wrote: "You can't say this, he has a family!"

And a number simply said: "savage".

Wenger said on Thursday that Wilshere's future will depend on his fitness.

The French boss: "It is down to the fact – and I have said this many times – that he can remain fit or not.

"He’s an Arsenal man and an Arsenal player.

"He would certainly like to stay, but we haven’t spoken about that, because at the start of the season I thought we had to see how it evolves and see what kind of influence he can have in the squad through the whole season."
