Arsenal hopeful on new Wilshere deal despite contract impasse

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has grown frustrated at how contract talks with the Gunners have stalled in recent months but there remains optimism on the side of the club that a new deal can be agreed by the end of the season.

Wilshere, who has been at Arsenal since he was nine-years-old, has featured in 30 games for the north London giants this campaign – the most he has played in four seasons.

The 26-year-old has re-established himself as a regular in the Arsenal starting line-up while he was rewarded with a call up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad on Thursday for the Three Lions upcoming friendlies with Netherlands and Italy, where he could feature for the first time since Euro 2016.
