Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere joined Bournemouth on loan.
According to The Sun, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger told Jack Wilshere that his move to Bournemouth must work out in order for the midfielder to revive his career at the Emirates Stadium.
Bournemouth pulled off one of the coups of deadline day as England international traded Arsenal for the south coast despite interest from abroad and in particular AS Roma.
Wilshere has barely played any football over the past 18 months, and his future in North London has been questioned during that time as frustrations grow over his fitness levels.
With Granit Xhaka, Aaron Ramsey, Mohamed Elneny, Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin on Arsenal’s books, boss Arsene Wenger has plenty of options in the middle of the park.
Wilshere needs to make a big impression, and fresh reports in The Sun claim that Wenger and the midfielder had a heart-to-heart conversation, with the French boss warning he is playing for his future.
The Cherries play an attacking style of football which concentrates on decent ball possession – a style which should suit the midfielder and allow him to develop his game.
However, Wilshere is by no means guaranteed starts at Dean Court, and he must prove his fitness levels in order for boss Eddie Howe to give him a constant run in the Bournemouth first XI.
Wilshere made his unofficial debut for Bournemouth in a friendly match with AC Milan this weekend.
