Sagna was wrong to speak out, says Wenger... but I want him to stay at Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger has given Bacary Sagna a dressing down after the defender publicly criticised Arsenal's summer transfer business.

In an interview with French newspaper L'Equipe, the right-back questioned the club's decision to sell Robin van Persie and Alex Song, while also bringing his own future at the club into doubt.

The Gunners hierarchy were not overly enamoured by Sagna's frank comments last week, prompting Wenger into action.

'Did I speak to Sagna? Yes,' admitted Wenger.

'I believe any player or any employee always has to defend the company he works for. And if he is not completely happy with it then he has to go somewhere else.

'That is basically what I think. That is what I say to everybody.

'You have the freedom to say what you want in life but it is also important you understand what people feel about the club.'

Nevertheless, Wenger still expects Sagna - who should return from a broken leg by mid-October - to sign a new contract with the Gunners with the club preparing a deal extension.

But Wenger has warned Sagna not to expect the club to push the boat out when it comes to offering new terms.

The France defender's current deal expires at the end of next season, but Wenger said: 'Bacary loves the club and will stay here, we want to extend his contract.

'He is 29, so his contract finishes when he is 31. So, of course we can't give him five years.' 

Meanwhile, Jack Wilshere is set to resume full training by the end of the month.

Sportsmail exclusively revealed last week how the 20-year-old was on the brink of starting ball work again after his 13 month lay-off.

And Wenger confirmed: 'Wilshere is good news for us and of course for England as well consequently. He is making quick progress now. He will join in with full training soon.
