Bournemouth are ready to offer a contract to former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, according to reports.

The ex-England international has been without a club since leaving West Ham by mutual consent in October.

The south coast side have bounced back quickly from last season’s relegation and currently sit third in the Championship table.

Tindall believes Wilshere’s experience and quality could aid his team’s push for an immediate return to the Premier League.

"It is important to find a club where I am going to play, be an important player and be happy. I don't want to rush into anything. It has to be the right team in the right country,” Wilshere told BBC Sport in October.

"I am open to Europe or wherever. I am the type of player who wants to have the ball. I understand there is another side to the game and I enjoy that but I would like to be in a team who has the ball. 

"I am not naive enough to think I am going to sign for a club and play straight away. There is a process to it. 

“You have to train with the team, get to know your team-mates, maybe come off the bench a couple of times. I want to get that process going but it has to be the right thing."
