Jack Wilshere in limbo: Midfielder faces snub from both Arsenal and Bournemouth
JACK WILSHERE is in limbo as it appears neither Arsenal or Bournemouth are ready to discuss his future.
Jack Wilshere is facing an uncertain future with neither club sure on a deal
Wilshere is on loan at Bournemouth and has managed to play more than in the last couple of seasons at Arsenal.
But, according to the Telegraph, his performances are yet to convince the club to make a bid for him in the summer.
Arsenal are also yet to initiate contract talks despite the player entering the final 18 months of his deal.

That could leave Wilshere looking for another club in the summer as he looks to rebuild his career.
Wilshere, 25, has made 17 starts for the Cherries but has only provided two assists - including one against Everton last weekend - and is yet to score.
Bournemouth are in a bad run of form and could slide into a relegation battle if things don’t pick up.

Eddie Howe’s side are 14th but just six points from the drop zone. They have conceded 47 goals, the joint-second most in the Premier League.
They face Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham within their next nine matches and haven’t won since New Year’s Eve.
Wilshere would likely cost a club-record fee, and surpass the £15m Bournemouth paid for Jordon Ibe.
Ibe, along with a number of Bournemouth’s expensive signings, has struggled to make an impact making Howe wary of splashing the cash on Wilshere.
