Jack Wilshere dismisses Arsenal exit talk and insists 'this club is in my heart'



Jack Wilshere has rubbished any suggestion he could be about to leave Arsenal.



The Gunners midfielder was linked this week with a £40million switch to Manchester City, having enjoyed a breakthrough campaign for club and country.



But on Tuesday night the 19-year-old posted a picture of himself on Twitter kissing the Arsenal badge in celebration at a goal he scored against Aston Villa.

With the picture, he wrote: ‘People asking if I’m going City? I don’t kiss the Arsenal badge then leave <3 this club in my heart!’



Wilshere, who has been at Arsenal since he was nine, has made 42 appearances for Arsenal this season despite only beginning his Premier League career in the second half last season, on loan at Bolton.



His fearless attitude in the club's engine room has been one of the few consistent things about their season, and in the regular absence of injured Cesc Fabregas, Wilshere has been Arsenal's outstanding player.

He made his international debut in August and earned his first start for Fabio Capello's England against Denmark in February.

Earlier this month, Wilshere was named on the shortlist for the PFA Young Player of the Year.
