He last week stated he was desperate for talks with Arsene Wenger over penning a new contract and said the boss had promised he would speak to him.

Now Wilshere has gone public again with his desire to stay at the club in an emotional Instagram tribute to the Emirates club.

He said: "So this time about a year ago, I was a Bournemouth player sitting in the stands at the Vitality watching AFCB v AFC wondering if I would ever play for Arsenal in the Premier League again.

"After another setback, I never stopped dreaming and believing.

Wenger has told Wilshere he will open contract talks this month.

He said: "Jack is coming back into competitive shape. He gives something to the team at the moment and gave a good final ball for the third goal.

"The situation is we need to sit down with him at the start of January as planned. There’s no delay.

"I said we would sort out his situation at the end of December and so I told him we want to meet to talk about the future."
