His loan deal is until the end of the season when it was assumed he would return to fight for his place.

But the 24-year-old has admitted to that a swift move back to north London at the end of the season is far from a sure thing.

Wilshere said: “I haven't really thought about my future beyond getting a season under my belt and just trying to improve as a player.

“To be honest your question is a hard question to answer because I don't know what to say. I genuinely don't know if I am going to end up at Arsenal or somewhere else.

“If you'd ask me two months ago if I was going to finish my career at Arsenal then I would have said, ‘Yeah, of course’.

“The fans have been great to me, the boss has been great to me. I have a lot of friends there. But sometimes that's the way football is.

“Two months ago I wouldn't have seen myself being here, but here I am. And I'm enjoying it.”
