However, it didn't exactly go to plan.
Wilshere made 27 appearances, but lost his starting place in the second half of the season. The 25-year-old's last appearance for Bournemouth was during a 4-0 loss at White Hart Lane to Tottenham Hotspur.
Wilshere went off injured and Spurs fans, unsurprisingly, didn't show him any sympathy.

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."
