Bournemouth have completed the sensational signing of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere on a season-long loan.
The England international had been linked with a temporary switch to Serie A pair Roma and AC Milan, but the Cherries have secured the 24-year-old’s services until the end of the campaign.
“AFC Bournemouth have agreed terms to sign Jack Wilshere on loan until the end of the season,” a statement read on Bournemouth’s official website.
“The England international will join the Cherries for the 2016-17 Premier League campaign, after agreeing terms to join from Arsenal.
“The 24-year-old will bolster Eddie Howe’s options in midfield and bring international experience, having been capped 34 times for England at senior level.”
Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said of the deal: “Jack is a fantastic addition to the club.
"He is a player that needs no introduction and one that, quite rightly, our supporters will be excited to see in a Bournemouth shirt.
"He will bring a wealth of international and Premier League experience, so we are delighted to be able to welcome a player of his calibre to the club."
