Arsène Wenger wants to resolve Jack Wilshere’s contract situation before the January transfer window, with the inference being Arsenal may look to sell the midfielder if they do not offer fresh terms or he turns them down. Wenger has picked Wilshere six times this season, almost entirely in the cup competitions, and he feels the player has found an encouraging groove. “I said many times that [Wilshere’s contract] would be decided in December,” Wenger said. There was also an irony in Wenger saying Wilshere is ready for England when he cannot get a game in the Premier League. “Jack was ready to be in the dark at the start of the season and just work hard,” Wenger said.
