Once regarded as one of the brightest young hopes in English
soccer before a series of injury setbacks, Wilshere has a year
remaining on his Arsenal contract but British media reported
that the north London club are yet to open talks regarding a new
deal with the 25-year-old.
"I'm not thinking about my future," Wilshere told British media.
"My main concern at the moment is trying to keep Bournemouth in
this league. I've got a year left at Arsenal. As soon as the
season ends, I'll sit down and I'll think about it."
Bournemouth, who ended an eight-game winless run in the league
in Saturday's 3-2 victory over West Ham United, are still in
danger of being dragged into the relegation battle, with just
six points separating them from the bottom three.
Wilshere, who left Arsenal in search of for more game time, has
been relegated to the bench in Bournemouth's last two league
games.
"No matter what happens next year - if I'm here, if I'm not, if
I'm at Arsenal, whatever - no-one wants a relegation next to
their name," Wilshere added.
"You don't want to be involved in a team that got relegated.
We're trying to put Bournemouth in a good position. At the end
of the season I'll have a think about it."
Bournemouth, who are in their second season in the Premier
League, host relegation rivals Swansea City on Saturday.
