da winzada777： Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is open to listening to offers for Jack Wilshere, reports The Guardian.
What’s the word?
da esoccer bet： Doubts have been shrouded over the midfielder’s future at the Emirates ever since he was allowed to leave to join Bournemouth on loan last summer.
Injuries have hampered the England international’s career for the last few years, which has resulted in a fall down the pecking order at Arsenal.
Wilshere is currently working his way back to fitness after recovering from a fractured leg, which he suffered at Bournemouth during the closing stages of last season.
However, judging from Wenger’s comments, he may not be working towards a return to the Arsenal team.
According to The Guardian, when asked about Wilshere’s future, the manager said:
“I’m open with Jack. We have honest conversations. I’m open to what is the best for him. He is at the stage of his career where he needs to play and I can’t guarantee him that today. I think I’m quite open on that.”
Wenger added that it is up to the 25-year-old to prove that he deserves another contract, as his current one has just 12 months left to run.
Who wants to sign him?
There has not been a flurry of interest in the injury-plagued star, but Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce told talkSPORT on Thursday that he would like Wilshere in his squad.
The coach did add, though, that he was unsure how likely it would be to get a deal over the line.
Aside from Bruce’s admission, Italian club Sampdoria made an initial £6m bid plus £1.5m in add-ons last month, according to Sky Sports.
Despite that, there has been no movement and it is still uncertain what Wilshere wants to do, as he has remained relatively quiet on the situation.
The midfielder will surely want to attract Gareth Southgate’s attention ahead of England selection for the 2018 World Cup, but that will only happen if he is playing regularly.
Although, even if he is getting minutes under his belt at a lower league team, if a rival is performing in the Premier League, then Wilshere is likely to miss out.
The biggest problem for the midfielder is his injury record, and that understandably would make a club hesitant to sign him.
Perhaps the best thing for Wilshere is to get his head down and work on his fitness, but not at Arsenal.
