JACK WILSHERE is training with his former club Bournemouth to keep up his fitness.

The Bournemouth Echo claim at present, there is no deal in place for the club to sign Wilshere on a permanent basis.
The midfielder joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan from Arsenal back in 2016 and helped them to achieve a ninth-placed finish – their highest to date in the Premier League.

And current boss Jason Tindall has allowed the England international to train alongside his first-team stars as he searches for a new club.
Wilshere is currently a free agent after his £100,000-a-week deal at the West Ham was terminated by mutual consent in the summer.
The former Three Lions ace has regularly spoken out about his disappointing spell in East London – even claiming he would be ‘silly’ to return to a club at the Hammers’ level.
And last month, Wilshere has confessed he’ll happily move anywhere around the globe in order to be playing for a competitive team again.
Wilshere told Sky Sports: “I’m in a position now where I can make a decision based on footballing reasons.
“[I can] pick the team that I think I could fit into.
“I will have a look at the team, the players, the league they’re in and how the manager wants to play.
“I don’t think being at a smaller club like West Ham really suited me.
“There have been a few talks with clubs, but nothing that I have ever fancied quite yet.”
