Arsenal hero Parlour can see Wilshere staying with Bournemouth

Arsenal hero Ray Parlour can see Jack Wilshere staying with Bournemouth.

Parlour reckons the England international – who has been a big hit with Cherries supporters – could be convinced to remain in Dorset.

Parlour told the Daily Echo: "I'm sure there will be lots of clubs interested in Jack, if he is available. Bournemouth will be hoping the time he has had there will sway his decision.

"That's one thing which is going in their favour. He's been there, he knows the club and how Eddie Howe works as a manager, and that might sway him to stay.

"It will be very interesting. I know Jack very well as a person and he's a really good lad. He wants to learn and play.

"He had a dodgy spell with injuries before he got the opportunity at Bournemouth, so he might look at it and say, 'I'm going to reward them, I'm going to stay and play for Bournemouth for the next three or four seasons'.

"But he's the only one who can tell you that. I'm sure Jack's agent will be on the phone to him saying, 'this club is interested and this club is interested' but it comes down to a decision Jack is comfortable with himself."
