Former Arsenal and West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere training with Bournemouth as his search for a new club continues

Free agent Jack Wilshere is training with Bournemouth as he remains on the hunt for a new club.

The 28-year-old has been without a club since mutually agreeing to terminate his West Ham contract a year early in October.

Despite being linked with moves to MLS and Australia, the former Arsenal star is yet to sign for a new club.

In a bid to maintain his fitness, Wilshere is training with Bournemouth where he spent the 2016/17 season on loan from Arsenal.

The injury-hit midfielder made 27 appearances as the Cherries achieved their highest ever Premier League finish in ninth place.

It remains to be seen if Bournemouth could afford to offer Wilshere a permanent deal having suffered relegation from the top-flight last season.

Jason Tindall’s men are currently one point off an automatic promotion spot in the Championship with a game in hand.

Speaking to talkSPORT after leaving West Ham, Wilshere admitted he would like to play overseas.

“I think I want to try something different – I am leaning towards that,” said Wilshere.

“Maybe LaLiga, Italy, something a little bit different that not many English players have done.

“At the same time, I am probably going to take a week or two to decide. I was in this position when I left Arsenal and if I have learned anything from that, it is to take your time and make sure it is right for you.

“Not that I have regrets that I went to West Ham because in my head things would have turned out differently. But this time I am going to take my time and find something that suits me.

“I just want to be happy playing football again. When I first signed for West Ham and the first three games when I started, before I picked up a little injury, that was probably the last time I could tell you I was happy playing football.

“I want to go back on the pitch with a smile on my face and play 20-30 games a season where I am an important player for a team.”
