Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere joins Bournemouth on loan

Bournemouth have signed England midfielder Jack Wilshere on loan from Arsenal.

Arsenal agreed to send Wilshere, 24, out on a temporary deal to allow him to revive his injury-plagued career after he fell down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium. 

He had also received interest from Crystal Palace and Serie A club Roma but instead opted to join Bournemouth.

Eddie Howe's team play a similar brand of passing football to Arsenal, and sources close to the player told ESPN FC that the stability of the setup at Dean Court was also an attraction.

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 yet to make a Premier League start this season, playing just 37 minutes as a substitute after making only one start in the whole of the 2015-16 campaign prior to disappointing with England at Euro 2016.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere opts for Bournemouth loan - source

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.

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.
