Arsenal Midfielder Wants Emirates Stay Despite Being Made Fenerbahce Transfer Priority
England midfielder Jack Wilshere expects new deal at Arsenal but is running out of time.
Wilshere made just his second Premier League start of the season against Newcastle United last weekend.
The 25-year-old has struggled for playing time and was expected to leave the North London club.
Wilshere’s current deal expires at the end of the season. Unless he reached an agreement over an extension he will be leaving as a free agent.
“I definitely want to be here. I want to help Arsenal get to where they should be,” Wilshere, who made his Gunners debut in 2008, told Sky Sports.
“We just have to sort things out and I’m sure that will happen in the next couple of weeks and it will be sorted.”
Wilshere is chasing a recall to the England team for the 2018 World Cup but has struggled for playing time in the league.
“I think I’ve proved to myself that I can play in the Premier League and I trust my body again and that I can affect games. I can have a positive effect on this team and then maybe we’ll see if the England manager picks me,” he said.
