Jack Wilshere has once again reiterated that he wants to stay at Arsenal.

The England midfielder's contract expires at the end of the season with Arsene Wenger recently revealing that talks over a new deal would begin at the end of this month.

And while admitting his long-term future remains a mystery the 25-year-old once again repeated his desire to remain with his boyhood club.

"This is where I want to be, this is where I see myself in the future," he said. "Whether I will be and whether things sort themselves out then we will see in the next couple of weeks I suppose but I definitely want to be here.

"I am enjoying my football and am playing in the Premier League now and I want to help Arsenal get to where it should be.

"I think the biggest thing for any footballer, even more so for me because of the injuries and the games I've missed in the past, is that you are playing.

"Apart from that, there are a few small things to sort out but as long as I am playing I am happy, I have missed too much football and I just want to be playing, really.

"I'm in a good place mentally at the minute, I want to continue that and improving on my form, affecting the team, having a positive impact on the team and helping the team try and get into the top four and challenge for trophies."
