For what it's worth, Arsene Wenger has said he expects the midfielder to fight for a place at Arsenal when he recovers from the fractured leg he suffered in April.
"I think Jack will be with Arsenal next season, yes," Wenger said.
"I will give you a very focused answer on that. He has to work hard to come back and fight for a place in the team. But once he is ready, when he comes back, he will not be far from practising with the team."
