Jack Wilshere has admitted that he is totally in the dark about his future.
Speaking to the Daily Mail the midfielder has still to hear from Arsenal who have him under contract until June 2018.
That makes the next couple of months vital with the player comprehensively ending all doubts about his fitness by putting together a run of games for Bournemouth.
Eddie Howe would love to keep hold of the 25-year-old but finances mean that is unlikely to happen, especially with AC Milan and Manchester City linked with a move.
Many Arsenal fans want to see Wilshere back at the Emirates as they watch Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez stall on agreeing new terms.
Wilshere for Ozil would be a popular move but with both players out of contract at the same time negotiations will be delicate with the loan star now looking at options other than in North London in a red and white shirt.
