JACK WILSHERE admits he has no idea if he still has an Arsenal future after moving on loan to Bournemouth.
The Gunners' academy graduate demanded a move at the start of the season when he was struggling to get in Arsene Wenger’s best XI and was dropped from the England squad.
The former first-choice now has stars like Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka ahead of him in the Emirates pecking order and has adapted quickly to his new life on the South Coast with Eddie Howe.

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.
