Jack Wilshere was set for a deadline-day move to Roma - only for Arsenal to end his hopes of a move to Italy.
The talented midfielder joined Bournemouth in one of Wednesday’s shock transfers.
But he gave serious consideration to a switch to the Italian capital following talks with Franco Baldini, who is a consultant for Roma.
However, any aspirations Wilshere had of a move to Serie A were scuppered by his parent club Arsenal.
