Former England midfielder Jack Wilshere eager to build on positive start at Bournemouth and targets Championship promotion charge

Jack Wilshere is hoping to continue his positive start for Bournemouth when the Cherries take on Reading in the Championship on Friday.

The former England midfielder signed a short-term deal earlier this month following his release by West Ham in October.

Wilshere, who had a loan spell with Bournemouth in 2016-17, marked his second debut in Tuesday's FA Cup victory over Crawley with a goal and is now looking to make his mark in the league.
