Jack Wilshere has shelved contract talks with Arsenal to focus on kick starting his career with Bournemouth.
The England international completed a shock loan move to Bournemouth before the transfer window at the start of the month and made his competitive debut off the bench against West Brom at the weekend.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had hoped to discuss Wilshere’s contract in December as he could return to the Gunners next summer with only 12 months remaining on his existing deal. However, Wilshere isn’t thinking about contract talks at the moment.
“I don’t really want to talk about that [contract[ at the moment,” The Daily Mail quotes Wilshere as saying. “I’ve come here and I just want to get as many games as possible. I’m a Bournemouth player now in my head.
“I want to help Bournemouth get as high up the league and possible and also for myself I want to play 25 or 30 games this year. So I’m not really thinking about contracts or anything.”
Wilshere has only managed to feature in more than 30 league games on one occasion during his senior career and hasn’t managed to start in more than 10 games in the last three seasons.
