He looked to be a star of the future and seemed supremely talented.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the Englishman&#8217;s career has been plagued by injuries. He missed the entirety of the 2011\/12 season due to injury, and his troubles didn&#8217;t go away after that.<\/p>\n<p>After struggling to make an impact in the Gunners&#8217; first-team, Bournemouth signed him on loan in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>An injury-free 2017\/18 season back at the Emirates wasn&#8217;t enough to save Wilshere&#8217;s Arsenal career though, and he joined West Ham in the summer of 2018 on a free transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, he was never able to become a regular in the Hammers&#8217; starting 11, as injuries continued to haunt him. His contract was terminated by mutual consent in October 2020, and he has been without a club since.<\/p>\n<p>By training with Bournemouth, Wilshere hopes to maintain his fitness levels while looking for a new club.<\/p>\n<h3>Bournemouth Challenging For The Championship Title<\/h3>\n<p>After agonizingly being relegated from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/category\/premier-league\/\" target=\"_self\">Premier League<\/a> on the final day of the 2019\/20 season, and losing club legend manager Eddie Howe, Bournemouth have had a promising start to their Championship campaign.<\/p>\n<p>They are currently third, five points off top spot, and with a game in hand on those around them.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, many players have been seemingly rejuvenated in the new season. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/7b4de647\/Asmir-Begovic?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Asmir Begovic<\/a> regained his position as the club&#8217;s first-choice goalkeeper and has been superb, saving the Cherries countless times. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e77dc3b2\/Dominic-Solanke?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dominic Solanke<\/a> has also impressed, scoring eight league goals so far this season, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b017b770\/Sam-Surridge?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sam Surridge<\/a> looks a promising young talent, having come through the club&#8217;s youth system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"246Vy1JFReRntZMHZ3ag7Q\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1228787842\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'246Vy1JFReRntZMHZ3ag7Q',sig:'u1S9Mu_aKnx8Q0S4Xzqtfh5iT9U4dIEo7brI-6xzc5s=',w:'594px',h:'482px',items:'1228787842',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Championship side Bournemouth have confirmed that Jack Wilshere is currently training with them.
