# Arsenal opens talks with Wilshere over new deal

Arsenal have opened talks with Jack Wilshere over a new deal at the club with just months left on his current contract.

[The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-ready-offer-jack-wilshere-11264185) reports that Arsene Wenger has assured the player he has a future at Arsenal, with the club aiming to reach a deal with Wilshere by the new year.

The England international will put pen to paper on a new four-year contract if all goes well.

Wilshere’s contract expires at the end of the season but the club have opened talks after a string of impressive performances in the Carabao Cup and Europa League.

The midfielder has shaken off injury problems that halted his season on loan at Bournemouth to earn a place back in the first-team squad at the Emirates.

Wenger still considers the Englishman to be a key part of his plans, despite his limited action in the Premier League so far this season.
