Arsenal loanee Wilshere to make Bournemouth debut against AC Milan

Jack Wilshere is set to make his first appearance in a Bournemouth shirt this weekend.

The Arsenal midfielder, who joined the Cherries on a season-long loan on deadline day, will play in Saturday's friendly with AC Milan at the Vitality Stadium.

Wilshere, 24, has opted to leave Arsenal in a bid to gain regular first-team minutes and has linked up with Eddie Howe on the south coast in a bid to resurrect his career.

The match against the Rossoneri, who were coincidentally linked with Wilshere late in the transfer window, is a testimonial for club legend Warren Cummings.

Following the completion of his temporary shift to Bournemouth, Wilshere expressed his gratitude to his new club for giving such a warm reception.
