Jack Wilshere believes moving to Bournemouth has given him the reality check he needs to get back to his best.
Wilshere played his first 90 minutes since September 2014 on Saturday as the Cherries held high-flying Tottenham to a goalless draw.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has introduced Wilshere gradually since signing him on loan from Arsenal in the summer, a move aimed at steering the midfielder's injury-ridden career back on track.
The 24-year-old has made six appearances so far and admits trading the Gunners for the south coast has been a revitalising experience.
"I would agree it's good to get out of your comfort zone,'' Wilshere said.
