Arsenal's Jack Wilshere Signs With Pele's 10Ten Talent Agency

England's Jack Wilshere "can tap into advice from the greatest footballer in history after becoming the first client of a new sports agency in which Pele is a partner," according to Charles Sale of the London DAILY MAIL. Wilshere wears the No. 10 shirt at Arsenal -- "the same as the Brazil legend -- which helps explain why the sports management agency is called 10Ten Talent." The business has been formed by former personal manager of David Beckham, Terry Byrne, "who also heads the England players’ representative business 1966." Byrne works with former Tottenham Dir Paul Kemsley, "who manages Pele’s commercial rights business." He said, "Obviously Jack can’t be mentioned as being anywhere near the same league as Pele, but hopefully one day he will." Byrne, who has assured both the FA and the players that "there will be no conflict with his 1966 duties," has also signed up former England Manager Glenn Hoddle. England and Wasps rugby wing Christian Wade "is also joining 10Ten," which does not want to concentrate solely on football (DAILY MAIL,10/9).
