The pundit recently claimed the midfielder should leave Arsenal permanently.

Speaking to the Mirror, Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has hit back at Jamie Redknapp’s claims he has no future at the Emirates.
The England midfielder is currently spending the season on loan at Bournemouth, having joined in the summer transfer window.
His spell with the Cherries is largely a fitness exercise, as he looks to build up his fitness following several disastrous years injury wise.
He is also with Eddie Howe’s side to prove he has a future with Arsene Wenger’s team, though, with their current plethora of midfield options having seen him pushed far down the pecking order.

Some believe he won’t get back in, including Jamie Redknapp, who recently told Sky Sports “I think he’s got to get away from Arsenal. He’s not going to get in the team at Arsenal I don’t think regularly.”
Wilshere is not having those suggestions, though, hitting back in his comments to the Mirror.
“I don’t know where he got that from,” he said.
“I’ve not really thought about that so how [can] other people can comment on it. If he doesn’t see me going back to Arsenal then that’s up to him. He’s entitled to his opinion but I haven’t thought about that.”

While Wilshere may dispute Redknapp’s comments about his future, the stark truth is they are very true.
The Gunners have a number of options in central midfield at present and even when fully fit he is arguably only third or fourth choice.
It is something the midfielder must be aware of himself and he has a lot of work to do at Bournemouth to prove he has a role to play at the Emirates in future.
