Benik Afobe has revealed Jack Wilshere has spent hours mulling over his future and yet is still in the dark over whether he will play for Arsenal again.
The England midfielder continues to excel in the care of Eddie Howe and is increasingly resembling the player he once was, but the doubts are growing over whether there is a place for him at the Emirates Stadium.
His season-long loan at Bournemouth was designed as a means of gaining minutes, but despite making more starts than any campaign since 2013-14 he is yet to open talks with his parent club over the extension of a contract that expires in 18 months.
