Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will join Bournemouth on loan and
hopes to revive his career under manager Eddie Howe, a source has told
ESPN FC.
Wilshere was travelling to Bournemouth to complete the
deal on Wednesday after choosing the seaside club over Crystal Palace
and Roma, a source close to the talks said.
The England international's decision came after a day of speculation over his future had followed Arsenal's sanctioning of a temporary move.
The
club received a host of offers for his services, but Wilshere chose a
team that plays a similar possession-based style to the Gunners.
His injury problems have pushed him out of Arsene Wenger's first-choice lineup, and he decided to go on loan after being left out of Sam Allardyce's first England squad because of his lack of playing time.
Wilshere made his Arsenal debut at the age of 16 and has shown
electrifying form for both the Gunners and England at times, but
injuries have hampered his career and he missed nearly all of last
season with a broken ankle.
With Mesut Ozil occupying the No. 10
role Wilshere craves and central midfielder Granit Xhaka having arrived
in the summer, Wilshere's prospects of being a regular starter have
diminished.
He has made just two substitute appearances so far this season.
The
deal is a boost to Bournemouth, who are in their second season in the
Premier League and have taken just one point from their first three
games.
