Bournemouth FC news: Eddie Howe still wants Jack Wilshere on permanent deal despite dropping on-loan Arsenal midfielder

Eddie Howe remains determined to sign Jack Wilshere on a permanent basis despite relegating the midfielder to Bournemouth's substitutes.

Despite his arrival on loan from Arsenal last summer being considered a significant coup, he has started the past four games on the bench and was left out of the most recent England squad.

However, Howe, tipped in some quarters as a potential future manager of the national team, still hopes to sign Wilshere at the end of the season and could recall him at Liverpool on Wednesday after Andrew Surman suffered a knee injury in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Southampton.
