Jack Wilshere wants to stay and try to salvage his flagging Arsenal career after returning this week to full training following his broken leg.

The 25-year-old is among those players out of contract next summer and, while Arsenal have not offered him a new deal and are open to offers, Wilshere still believes that there can be a future for him at a club he first joined at the age of nine.

Although Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka ended last season as Arsene Wenger’s first-choice pairing in central midfield – and Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny are currently the main back up – Wilshere would surely come into contention if he can get fully match fit.
