Transfer News: Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere set for move to Crystal Palace or Bournemouth

Jack Wilshere is set to head out on loan this summer in order to get more minutes under his belt, and his most likely destinations are Crystal Palace or Bournemouth.

After it was reported earlier that Jack Wilshere would be leaving this Emirates this summer on a season long loan, a host of clubs were reported to be interested in signing the midfielder, including Celtic, Valencia, Juventus and Roma.

Now it seems as if the 24-year-old is set for a move to another Premier League club, and the latest clubs to be linked with a move for the Englishman are Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.

According to SkySports, Wilshere and his agents met Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe and his crystal Palace counterpart Alan Pardew. The meeting was held in London on Tuesday and he is reported to have set Wednesday morning as the date where he’d inform them of his decision.

The report also states that Wilshere has courted the interest of Portuguese giants Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.

Wilshere only made one Premier League start last season and injuries and off-field indiscretions have led to a negative impact on his career. Unsurprisingly, he was also left out of the England squad for their World Cup qualifier against Slovakia on Sunday.

Should he stay at Arsenal, game time would be hard to come across given the presence of Mohamed Elneny, Granit Xhaka, Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin all vying for two positions in the squad.
