Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: 'Jack Wilshere are progressing'

Boss Arsene Wenger has acknowledged that midfielder Jack Wilshere is still to make a decision regarding his Arsenal future.

Earlier this season, Wenger said that Wilshere - whose contract expires in the summer - needed to prove his fitness before being offered a new deal at the Emirates Stadium.

Wilshere has gone on to make 20 starts and seven substitute outings for the Gunners in all competitions, and while Wenger has claimed that negotiations are "progressing", the club's long-serving manager admits that Wilshere continues to consider his future.

At a press conference, the Frenchman told reporters: "It is progressing. The decision belongs to him and you have to respect that. The player has to find satisfaction."

Wilshere has previously hinted that he would like to extend his stay in North London.
