The Arsenal midfielder is spending the season on loan at Bournemouth.
Jack Wilshere has told BBC Sport that he is getting fitter and fitter during his loan spell with Bournemouth.
The midfielder joined the Cherries on loan from Arsenal in the summer transfer window as it became clear that first-team football would be hard to come by at the Emirates.
The move is largely so the midfielder can build up his fitness after several bad injuries in recent years.
He has been a regular in the Cherries midfield at the beginning of the season and completed his first 90 minutes in over two years in the 0-0 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon.
And he says his fitness is getting better as the weeks go by, but he is hoping to start contributing more in future.
“I feel better and better each week. The manager has been great to me and I feel like I am getting fitter and fitter. Hopefully, I can contribute more,” he told BBC Sport.
It remains to be seen if Wilshere’s loan spell with Bournemouth is deemed a successful one come the end of the season.
While he is there to build up his fitness, there is no denying that another remit of the move is for him to prove he has a future at Arsenal.
So far he has been solid but unspectacular and he will have to seriously up his game if he is to convince Arsene Wenger that he should be in his team.
