As reported by the , Arsene Wenger has tried to reassure fans that the club will offer the midfielder a new contract but there has been no offer made yet and there is concern that Wilshere may be coming to the end of his time with the club.

Wilshere left Arsenal in the summer to move to Bournemouth on loan to guarantee regular first team football after having his path to the first team blocked by Granit Xhaka, Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin.

At Bournemouth the 24 year old has been in fine form with regular games giving him the spring board to showcase how good he really is.

Amazingly Arsenal have allowed three key players including Wilshere to run their contracts down to 18 months, Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil make up the trio.

None of the players seem 100 per cent sure of their future and its a major worry for Arsenal that in 18 months time all three will be playing somewhere else.

Manchester City are ready to pounce for Wilshere in the summer if he does not sign a new contract with Pep Guardiola a keen admirer of the England international.

Guardiola will remember all to well when Wilshere single handily took on Xavi and Andres Iniesta in the Champions League last 16 1st leg at the Emirates in 2011.

At just 19 Wilshere dominated the midfield on a famous night when Arsenal came from behind to beat the Catalans 2-1.

If Wilshere does leave Arsenal in the summer it will be a sad end to his career at the club, he seemed destined to be a one club man that would eventually take over the captaincy.

But his injury nightmare has hindered his progress at club level and for England, perhaps a new permanent move away will lay to rest the demons that have plighted his stop start career.
