Jack Wilshere on Wednesday night posted a cryptic message on Instagram that could hint at an imminent departure from Arsenal as his contract draws to its end.
Per Daniel Zeqiri of the Daily Telegraph, talks are ongoing between Wilshere, 26, and the north London club, but the midfielder's latest social media post has set tongues wagging.
He posted a message that read: "There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book."
Wilshere has been at Arenal since 2001 and made his senior debut in 2008. His contract at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of June.
He enjoyed a relatively injury-free 2017-18 campaign by his standards, making 38 appearances in all competitions, including 13 in Arsenal's run to the UEFA Europa League semi-finals.
However, he was unable to force his way into the England squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. And now it looks as though he could be on his way out of Arsenal.
As Zeqiri noted, new Gunners head coach Unai Emery is looking to make changes in midfield and could soon add Lucas Torreira to his squad from Sampdoria.
The Uruguay international is a similar type of player to Wilshere and would provide him with stiff competition should he remain at the club.
Wilshere will likely not be short of offers should he not renew his contract at Arsenal. He is still a talented player and has time to finally make good on his enormous potential.
Per MailOnline's Amitai Winehouse, Juventus could offer him the chance to continue his career in Italy.
