Arsene Wenger hopes that 'world class' Jack Wilshere will see out his entire career with Arsenal.
Wilshere joined Bournemouth in a season-long loan deal on transfer deadline day, sparking suggestions his time at the Gunners could be up.
However, Wenger has stressed that the move is designed purely to get competitive minutes under the midfielder's belt - the England international has struggled with injuries over the past 18 months - and he revealed his desire to see Wilshere remain with his boyhood club until he decides to hang up his boots.
'The thinking is he plays regular football to go back to what he is - a world class footballer,' said the Frenchman.
