By Chris Reidy

Jack Wilshere has told us he will consider his future at the end of the season and would not confirm whether he has been offered a new deal by Arsenal

Jack Wilshere says he will not decide on his future until the end of the season and is focused on maintaining Bournemouth's Premier League status.

Wilshere told Sky Sports News he was enjoying his time on loan at Bournemouth and the opportunity for regular football will be a deciding factor in where he plays next year.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger today said he plans to bring the England midfielder back to the Emirates but Wilshere refused to be drawn on his future.

He said: "My main focus at the minute is on playing for Bournemouth, getting them out of the position they're in and back to winning ways.

"I'm concentrating on the next three or four months and then I'm not sure what's going to happen."
