Hodgson vehemently denied Crystal Palace have discussed signing Wilshere, however, and took a shot at the year-old's agent in the process:. That's what you need to find out, because it didn't come from us. I work with [Palace sporting director] Dougie Freedman and we talk about potential players, and Jack Wilshere's name has never been mentioned in this room.
Hodgson didn't rule out signing Wilshere in the future and admitted he likes the midfielder. He never hid his admiration during his four years in charge of England's national team.
Wilshere returned to north London from a loan spell at Bournemouth during the summer eager to push his way back into the plans of manager Arsene Wenger. But the results have been mixed. He hasn't featured all that much and rarely as a starter, but in his limited game time, he has shown plenty of promise.
Fans of the Gunners were furious when he wasn't called up for international duty, and while his play probably didn't warrant such an honour, Footy Accumulators noted Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate picked an odd reason not to bring him into the fold:.
Wilshere, regarded as a possible future England captain, was in the national team set up for Euro but more injuries saw him struggle after leaving Arsenal.
He joined West Ham before moving to Bournemouth in the Championship were he played more consistently. He is part of a generation of midfielders who didn't sustain their promise at the top showing how difficult it is. Ravel Morrison and Ross Barkley are other examples were it looked like they would be mainstays for club and country.
Arteta has been frustrated by his side's lack of presence in midfield. Wilshere said: 'It's nice to be back seeing some old faces who I spent a lot of my life with.
Wilshere second right watched Arsenal and Bournemouth's U23s face off earlier this month. Wilshere had spent time with Serie B side Como in the summer, but the Italian side were unable to sign him on a permanent deal due to EU restrictions. The year-old has been a free agent since he was released by Bournemouth in the summer.
