Jack Wilshere has revealed that he is highly unlikely to join Arsenal again.

The former England international is currently training with the Gunners to keep his fitness up in the search for a new club.

However, he doesn't believe that Mikel Arteta will hand him a chance back at the Emirates.

The 30-year-old revealed on talkSPORT that he would 'love' to play for the Gunners once more but that Mikel Arteta 'doesn't want' him to sign.

Wilshere also revealed that he was talking to a few clubs, but I think you can rule Arsenal out.

You could argue that Arsenal are short in midfield, and Wilshere has the quality to play in the Premier League and make a difference.

If he were to play, it would be a romantic return for a player who Arsenal released in the summer of 2018.

However, if we look at this logically and practically, I see why Arteta might not be that keen to hand his former teammate a contract.

The 30-year-old only played 18 matches last season for Bournemouth, and he only played ten in the season before (transfermarkt).

So, you would have to say that he would be well short of any match fitness, and he hasn't played in the Premier League since July 2020.

Unfortunately, with Arsenal pushing for the Champions League or Europa League, they don't have time to be sentimental, and they would need Wilshere to hit the ground running.

Now, he could because he has been training with the Gunners, but training and playing in the Premier League are very different, and if I am honest, I don't think Wilshere would be capable.

Therefore, a return to Arsenal doesn't look likely, but I hope Wilshere finds a club because he could still do a job in the EFL.
