On the other hand, if Wenger is serious about keeping Wilshere long-term, he needs to be able to stand up to the rigors of English football, perhaps making somewhere like Bournemouth the better choice.
His injury problems have pushed him out of Arsene Wenger’s first-choice lineup, and he chose to go on loan after being left out of Sam Allardyce’s first England squad because of his lack of playing time.
Jack Wilshere joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan from Arsenal on deadline day.
Palace manager Alan Pardew had made no secret of his desire to recruit Wilshere, and had overseen the rebuilding of Wilfried Zaha’s reputation after his unsuccessful transfer to Manchester United.
Jack Wilshere made his debut for Arsenal in 2008 after graduating from their youth academy, and since then, he has made 105 appearances for the club scoring six goals. “Thanks for all of your support as always”, he added.
He has also gained 34 full worldwide caps, scoring two goals for his country.
