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.
