With Bournemouth announcing the capture of Jack Wilshere on a season-long loan from Arsenal, we explore three reasons why the South-Coast club can prove to be the Englishman’s saviour.

Game Time

Even without his unending list of injuries, Jack Wilshere would have no doubt struggled to establish himself in the Arsenal first-team this year. With a host of talented central midfielders at Arsène Wenger’s disposal, Jack would likely have settled for the bench, picking at the scraps left by Cazorla, Özil and Xhaka. At Bournemouth, Jack will truly be regarded as a key player, and will be vital as they seek to consolidate their position in the Premier League.

International Recognition

It is no coincidence that Arsenal’s decision to allow Wilshere to go out on loan, shortly followed the announcement of the 24-year-old’s omission from Sam Allardyce’s first England squad. If Wilshere wants any chance of International football in the coming years, he is going to need to prove to Big Sam that he can play on a regular basis and inspire a side that looks to him for creativity.

Eddie Howe

While Howe eventually lost out to Allardyce in the race for England’s premier job, the invitation to interview for the role is further proof of Howe’s growing stock in English football.

Howe is being touted as one of the most exciting young managers in world football, and with his uncanny ability to bring out the best in players, Jack will be hoping to find his best form under the nurturing presence of Cherries’ manager.
