There were plenty of big deals in this summer’s transfer window, but none so were perhaps as shocking as Jack Wilshere’s deadline day move from Arsenal to Bournemouth.

The England international had been struggling for game time under Arsene Wenger in what is a fiercely competitive Arsenal midfield, and after his well documented struggles with injury, Wilshere will hope the move down south will give him a better chance of first team football.

The 24-year-old has already made his debut for The Cherries in Warren Cumming’s testimonial match against AC Milan, and Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe believes the midfielder’s presence has already given his squad a boost.

Howe said: "I hoped the signing and the high profile nature of the signing will give the lads that confidence that having a player like Jack Wilshere in your squad can give," said Howe.

"I have seen a difference in our players and certainly standing next to them in the tunnel with the team can only inspire belief and confidence in the group.”

Howe will hope the midfielder can be a key part of Bournemouth’s squad this season as they aim to build upon their impressive first season of Premier League football.

For Wilshere himself, the move represents a clean slate following the disappointment of not making Sam Allardyce’s most recent England squad, and a shot at re-inventing himself after what was been a somewhat underwhelming career having promised so much at such a young age.

If Wilshere is indeed to do so, here are five things he will have to do at Bournemouth in order to reignite his career...

Remain Injury Free

This one may seem a fairly simple statement, but Wilshere’s career thus far has been dampened hugely by sporadic injuries that have often kept him out of the side.

The midfielder has only started 80 Premier League games for Arsenal in his career, which is an astonishing thought considering he made his debut at such a young age.

A solid season with 30-40 appearances under his belt will do him good.

Lead the Line

There is no doubt that Jack Wilshere is now the biggest name in that Bournemouth dressing room.

Now, while it is important that ego has no part to play, the Englishman will need to take the side by the scruff of the neck and become the midfield general the Cherries crave.

Wilshere needs to take his experience of playing on the biggest stage and pass on his wisdom to those around him.

Play Further Forward

Watching a young Wilshere in the Champions League against Barcelona when he outshone both Xavi and Iniesta at the Nou Camp seems a lifetime ago now.

But that night, like others too, Wilshere played in a more advanced role and was allowed to opportunity to use his creativity and excellent passing to devastating fashion.

When he is given freedom, that is when he shines and Edie Howe will know that.

Focus on Bournemouth

Wilshere could be forgiven for wondering what the future holds for him at Arsenal, especially since Arsene Wenger said, according to the Sun, that the midfielder was ‘playing for his career’ at the Emirates.

Worrying about that, though, will only hold him back, and hence Wilshere needs to treat the season as a fresh one and focus solely on the job at hand.

Forgetting Arsenal and Arsene for 12 months will only be a good thing.

Learn from Others

While it is most definitely Wilshere’s responsibility to pass on his knowledge and experience to those around him, it is also his responsibility to soak up what he can from those around him too, as Bournemouth possess some fine midfield talent of their own.

Wilshere, more often than not, is accustomed to winning at Arsenal, so being on the back-foot for a change in a Bournemouth side aiming to avoid the drop will be a new challenge, and one that his new team mates can guide him through.
