A move away from Arsenal for Jack Wilshere could benefit both parties

Given the issues with Arsenal’s medical team – witness the nasty incident involving Santi Cazorla that’s been reported as of late – it could easily be argued that Arsenal actually don’t deserve the services of Jack Wilshere, not the other way around.

But then you can also make a point that Wilshere hasn’t helped himself over the years, as he’s been photographed on numerous occasions smoking, drinking and attending parties at nightclubs.

The fact is that despite being one of the most talented midfielders in the game, Wilshere just hasn’t lived up to his potential lately. It's unclear whether that’s down to a lack of match fitness – Wilshere always seems to pick up a serious injury just as he’s hitting form and always seems to be out for longer than initially hoped – or the fact that Arsene Wenger refuses to put his full faith in him, preferring the likes of Aaron Ramsey instead.

Wilshere was expected to be running Arsenal’s midfield at this stage of his career, but that just hasn’t been the case, and might never, either.

Arsenal already made an attempt to move Wilshere on last season, loaning him to Bournemouth and then offering him to other clubs during the summer, but he remains at the Emirates.

And at 25-years-old, he’s still relatively young – so from another club’s point of view, surely he’s worth taking the risk on? Away from the Emirates and away from Arsenal’s medical team, Wilshere could develop into the world-class midfielder he’s always threatened to become. And that could be England’s gain too.
