Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin has insisted that a loan spell with Bournemouth will give Jack Wilshere the perfect platform to showcase his skills to the Premier League.
England star Wilshere made his debut for the Cherries last weekend against West Bromwich Albion, having penned a season-long loan deal with the South Coast club.
Coquelin keeps in touch with Wilshere regularly, and believes that he will thrive with Bournemouth, after a couple of seasons plagued by injury.
“He will be a big miss because we talk a lot off the pitch as well,” Coquelin told Arsenal Player.
“I’ve dropped him a few texts to wish him good luck at Bournemouth.
“It’s going to be a great thing for him to be able to play a full season, staying injury-free.
“We all know his talent, it’s just a case of him staying injury-free. I know he had a strong pre-season so he will be alright.
“He’s going to show the whole Premier League what he can do so he can come back even stronger.
“He will be focusing on having a great season at Bournemouth. It was a tough decision for him because he had a few options, but if he’s decided to go to Bournemouth it’s because he’s 200 per cent committed.
“He’s really ready and hopefully for us it will be amazing if he can come back fresh, fit and, even better, with a full season behind him.”
