Man City boss Pep Guardiola to cool interest in Arsenal star Jack Wilshere: This is why
PEP GUARDIOLA is cooling on the idea of signing England midfielder Jack Wilshere because of fears over his fitness.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola to cool interest in Jack Wilshere over fitness concerns
The Arsenal star is coming to the end of a season long loan at Bournemouth and is likely to leave The Emirates if Arsene Wenger stays.
He is out of contract at the end of next season and The Gunners haven’t yet opened talks with Wilshere or his representatives about a new deal.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola has concerns over Jack Wilshere's fitness
Manchester City scouts were taking a close look at him earlier in the season after Pep Guardiola thought that he could do a job for him.
Wilshere, 25, was named Bournemouth’s player of the month in November and December has made 22 appearances for the Cherries.
But has failed to start their last two games after ironically picking up a knock at the worst possible time against City.
Jack Wilshere is likely to leave Arsenal in the summer if Arsene Wenger stays
And it could cost him a move to North West with Guardiola looking for a major reshaping of his squad this summer.
It seems unlikely that Eddie Howe will try and take the £90,000-a-week star to Bournemouth on a permanent basis either this summer.
Wilshere appears not to have done enough to persuade Howe to splash out what would be a club record fee to sign him.
