London, Nov 26: Arsenal fringe midfielder Jack Wilshere has hinted that he might leave Arsenal during the January transfer window to resurrect his World Cup hopes.

The 25-year-old has battled injuries for the last couple of seasons and was also sidelined at the start of this new season after he broke his leg last year.

However, the 25-year-old has come back from the injury to participate in the training ground for the last two months and the England midfielder has been gaining great support in his mission to return to the Arsenal first team after presenting some great performance in the Europa League and Carabao Cup up until now.

However, Wilshere's future at the Emirates is still unclear as Wenger is still seemed not too reliant on the midfielder as the 25-year-old has been limited to only two Premier League appearances as subs this terms.

The 25-year-old only has an Arsenal contract until next year and in the upcoming January as Bosman Transfer rule, if he is not given a new contract he is free to talk to other clubs over a possible transfer.

And the midfielder now claimed that with World Cup hopes with England to take into thought, he will have talks with manager Arsene Wenger before deciding whether to stay put or move away in the upcoming winter window.

“I’ve said before that I want to stay here and play,” the midfielder told reporters.

“I’ve been at this club for 10 years. I don’t have to say how much this club means to me, how good they have been to me.

“But, at the same time, the boss has got to be honest with me and I’m sure he will.

“I think we will have to talk about that [leaving in January] when it comes down to it.

“We have got a month until then, and me and the boss will probably have a conversation before then and see what happens because obviously when January comes I have only got six months left on my contract.

“We have known each other for long enough and we have a good relationship where we can be honest with each other so I’m sure we will be and then we will go from there.”

Many reports have earlier suggested that Arsenal are keen to tie Wilshere down to a new and improved contract at the club who has only one year left on his contract. But still, no encouraging words from Wenger has reportedly set Wilshere's sight on two Premier League clubs, West Ham and Crystal Palace.

And to keep his World Cup hope alive, the 25-year-old will surely consider his options in the upcoming January window.
