AFC Bournemouth AFC Bournemouth

AFC Bournemouth's latest loan signing Jack Wilshere has achieved a lot in his player career to date.

Here's everything you need to know about the 24-year-old midfielder, who competed his loan signing on deadline day.

ARSENAL

Having come through the Arsenal youth ranks, Wilshere played alongside Cherries' striker Benik Afobe. 

It wasn't long before the midfielder was making an impact in the Gunners' first team, making his debut in 2008 aged just 16 years 256 days - meaaning he is the club's youngest ever league debutant.

First team opportunities continued to fall Wilshere's way, and a loan move to Bolton Wanderers in 2010 followed.

He flourished during his time with the Trotters, making 14 appearances.

That loan spell gave him the foundation for plenty of success with the Gunners, including 159 appearances so far, winning the 2010/11 PFA Young Player of the Year and two FA Cup winners medals.

His displays over recent years have earned plenty of praise, including from Barcelona legend Xavi, who hailed him as 'the future of English football.'

ENGLAND

After making appearances for the under-16s, 17s, 19s and 21s, Wilshere made his senior Three Lions debut aged just 18 years and 222 days in a friendly against Hungary.

His first start came in February 2011 against Denmark and he has won 34 caps in total for his country.

In more recent times, Wilshere was a revelation in England's Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, winning the man of the match six out of seven times he played.

The midfielder will be hoping to work his way into Sam Allardyce's squad with regular football at Vitality Stadium.
