Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe won't shut the door on re-signing on-loan Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.

Wilshere's season is over after suffering a leg fracture last week.

Howe told the Daily Echo: “You want to work with the best players and to challenge yourself. But most importantly you want to improve the team. If that means bringing in new players, better players, then we will look at it.

“But the answers aren't always outside. We have a squad full of talented players – and it is about making them better. I think Jack's loan spell has been hugely successful and, hopefully, he would feel the same way. We love him to bits but the future is unknown and he is an Arsenal player now.

“Let's wait and see."
