ARSENAL TRANSFER NEWS: LIVE!

9:30 am: The Gunners have enjoyed a brilliant transfer window, probably their best in many years, but they are unlikely to add any new players today.

However, there could be a few players moving out on loan, and one of them could be England midfielder Jack Wilshere.

Wilshere has been at the club throughout his career but injuries have hampered his progress in recent years. Arsenal are choc-a-bloc with world class midfielders at the moment, and Arsene Wenger cannot guarantee him regular starting berth.

He needs to play regularly again and the best possible scenario for him is to move elsewhere. According to reports from Sky Sports, Premier League clubs Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are looking to sign him on loan.

Sky Sports reporting earlier today: 

“The latest information I have is that Jack Wilshere’s five team shortlist is down to two. Last night we were told Wilshere was considering season-long loan deals from five clubs with three from the Premier League – Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Watford – and two from Portugal, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica.

“We understand Wilshere will be choosing between Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. Wilshere had meetings with both clubs yesterday and informed them he would inform them of his decision at some point this morning. So it does seem inevitable that Wilshere will be leaving the on loan.”
