Jack Wilshere has admitted that he may have to leave Arsenal in January to keep his World Cup dream alive, reports the Daily Mail.
What’s the word?
The midfielder, who is out of contract next summer, returned to the Gunners in the summer following a loan spell at Bournemouth.
A fractured leg delayed his season, but he is now fighting fit and has made nine appearances so far.
Manager Arsene Wenger has started Wilshere in the Europa League and Carabao Cup, but the midfielder has made just two substitute outings in the Premier League.
The 25-year-old plans to hold talks with the Frenchman and has admitted that he may have to call time on his 16-year association with the Gunners.
The Daily Mail quotes Wilshere as saying:
“I think we will have to talk about that. We have got a month until then and me and the boss will probably have a conversation before then and see what happens because obviously when January comes I have only got six months left on my contract. We will see what happens between now and then, I will talk to the boss.”
Is it time to give up on Arsenal?
The midfielder is no youngster anymore and if he was to be an integral part of Wenger’s team, he would be making more appearances in the top flight.
Injuries have hampered Wilshere’s progress over the years, and even though it is through no fault of his own, being regularly injured at a club like Arsenal will make it that much harder for him to break through when fit.
The midfielder has indicated that he may have to leave in order to give him a chance of making England’s World Cup team for Russia 2018.
Gareth Southgate would consider Wilshere if he gets regular game time elsewhere, but his performances would need to be top quality week by week in order to gain a starting spot for his country.
In order for Wilshere’s club career to improve, he needs to find a club that will give him more chances in the first team.
