Arsenal's Wilshere joins Bournemouth on loan

Arsenal's England midfielder Jack Wilshere, who has suffered a string of injuries, has joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan, the Premier League clubs said on Wednesday. Once regarded as one of the brightest young hopes in English football, Wilshere, 24, has slipped down the pecking order at Arsenal after two seasons in which he played 17 league games. "Jack is a fantastic addition to the club," Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blank told the club's official website.
