Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere could leave the club to enjoy regular first-team football elsewhere, manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed.
The Englishman is finally fully fit after recovering from last April's injury to the same area of his fibula that forced him to miss most of the campaign two years ago.
Serie A side Sampdoria want to sign the player and they have already made an official bid to secure his services.
"That decision [whether he stays or not] is not completely made," Wenger told reporters.
"I want him to have a chance to play somewhere as well. We have to decide that a bit later. I wanted first for him to come back, he is coming out of a fracture. It is the first week he is back in full training and we have to sit down together and see where we go from there.
"I made him start at a very young age. He has gone through difficult times, I want him to have the career he can have and I am quite open on that.
"It [his time at Arsenal] is not passed because he has the talent to be regular, but he has to come back to competition in a consistent way."
