15 Best Premier League Players Available On Free Transfers

Club: Arsenal

Age: 26

Despite his age, it's often tempting to think that Jack Wilshere is a lot further down the road in his career than he is thanks to how long he's been at Arsenal. But looking at his appearance stats tells a stark story.

He's only managed four seasons where he's appeared more than 20 times in the Premier League for Arsenal - and once more for Bournemouth - and while his will to succeed might be there, he'll always be followed by concerns about injuries. At this stage, he's definitely worth a gamble if Arsenal don't take up the option to extend his deal.

Luckily for him, his new boss seems enthusiastic about doing just that.
