Writing in the London Evening Standard, Harry Redknapp has claimed that Jack Wilshere’s Arsenal career will be over if he does not succeed at Bournemouth.
The midfielder was one of the surprise moves on deadline day as he joined the Cherries on a season-long loan deal.
He has been allowed to leave the Emirates after falling down the pecking order at the club this season following the arrival of Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach.

It has been widely regarded as last chance saloon for the England man, whose career has been seriously hampered by a series of long-term injuries.
And Redknapp has warned him that his career with the Gunners will be over if he fails to make a success of his time with Eddie Howe’s side.
“Jack Wilshere’s Arsenal career will be over if he doesn’t play well at Bournemouth this season,” he told the London Evening Standard.
“You can dress it up anyway you like but it comes down to Arsene Wenger deciding Wilshere isn’t currently good enough to play for his team.”

Key to determining whether Wilshere is a success at Bournemouth is how quickly he adapts to life with his new side.
There is not a vast style difference between the two teams but he will have to quickly adapt to seeing less of the ball than he is accustomed to with Arsenal.
If he can do that, and crucially avoid any more injuries, it could prove to be an exciting season for the Cherries and Wilshere.
