After having scored Jack Wilshere's unexpected signing from Arsenal, Bournemouth manager, Eddie Howe, commented:
"We met and had a good football talk. We talked about the club and various different things, obviously we're delighted he's chosen us and I feel he will do really well in the team. Jack is obviously out there on his own with his profile, and what we've attracted before, it's a good deal and one that can work for both sides. He can complement our style of play, and maybe add that missing piece to the jigsaw. We had a good talk about football, about Bournemouth the place and the football club, thankfully he chose us.
Of course being already acquainted with someone helps, someone whom you can ask for an honest opinion on things. Hopefully Benik (Afobe,former teammateof his at Arsenal, Reporter's Note) spoke positively about us, well, I'm sure he did! It can only help your chances.
ùI don't want to overplay it, we're delighted he chose us. We'll wait and see when he'll play, hopefully as soon as possible but I don't want to set any targets. We'll see how everything works in training".
