Arsenal: Jack Wilshere Loan Is A Risky Investment
Jack Wilshere has been made available for loan by Arsenal. It is a highly risky investment from Arsene Wenger, but it could reap very great rewards.
Arsenal seem to have finished their business this summer in terms of incoming signings. That does not mean, however, that their business is finished altogether with a series of potential outgoings either being completed or reported.

The surprise move is still to come though, with many clubs sniffing around the possibility of taking Jack Wilshere on a season-long loan. It was a shock when the reports surfaced on Monday and Arsene Wenger does seem willing to allow his former darling to leave if the circumstances fall right.
It would, though, be quite a risk if indeed Wilshere did leave the Emirates for the year. First and foremost, as ever with a talented Arsenal youngster, Wilshere has struggled greatly with fitness injuries, curtailing a young career of vast potential and talent. Sending him out on loan would be with the intention of providing him with more game time. Can the always crippled Wilshere handle a significant increase in workload?
If he suffers yet another season-long injury, it could well be the end of Wilshere’s career, regardless of club. Secondly, with only two years left on his contract, if Wilshere enjoys a year where his talent flourishes and his fitness concerns subside, then Wenger could well have quite a challenge to keep him at the Emirates with a precarious contract situation.
Having said that, while those risks are worth considering, the reward is so great that they ultimately pale in comparison. If there is even a glimmer of hope that, with a productive loan move in which Wilshere enjoys regular game time with no fitness issues, he can return to his best and fulfil the lauded potential that he boasted as a fresh-faced 18-year-old, then Arsenal should jump at the opportunity.

It is certainly a risky move to allow Wilshere to leave this summer. However, the reward is vast and in the hope of rejuvenating and restarting a faltering career, it ultimately becomes a no-brainer.
