Arsene Wenger coy on Jack Wilshere’s future…

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger cast further doubt over Jack Wilshere’s future after stating that he’ll make a decision in the England’s man best interest when they eventually sit down to discuss his future.

Speaking ahead of the visit of Huddersfield on Wednesday, a game Wilshere will be hoping to start given the congestion of Premier League fixtures, time is certainly running out for him to prove his worth to Gareth Southgate.

Wilshere recently spoke on his frustrations at being left out of the Premier League team on a consistent basis, and his future is far from certain.

According to Wenger, accepts that a decision needs be made soon, though he did profess his desire to keep a player of Wilshere’s ability.

“He’s a football man and I will always decide what is best for him, that is my first priority no matter what kind of decision I make. I have to consider the interests of Jack Wilshere and Arsenal Football Club together.

“If I think his best interest is to stay here then I will absolutely fight 100 per cent for him to stay here because he’s a guy who is top-quality and is back fit now.

“For me, when you have a top-quality player, you want him to be at Arsenal football club.”

I’m sure every Arsenal fan would love to see Wilshere succeed at the club, but we’re stuck in an awkward situation with him at the moment.

Giving him a new lucrative long-term contract is currently a risk, yet we’re unable to see him prove his fitness due to our need for points on the board.

As harsh as it may seem, it will take an injury crisis in midfield for Wilshere to be given an extended run in the Premier League.
