The 17-year-old continues to be a fringe player at Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger reluctant to rush his development.[LNB]The Gunners hold high hopes for the young midfielder in the future but know pushing him too hard, too soon could prove detrimental.[LNB]He has been restricted to just five first-team outings this season as a result, with three of those appearances coming from off the bench.[LNB]Recent reports have suggested that a number of clubs have expressed an interest in taking him on loan, happy to offer him the regular action he craves.[LNB]Wilshere admits a short-term deal away from Emirates Stadium could be the answer he is looking for, but the ambitious teenager has made it clear that he will only consider offers from Arsenal's top flight rivals.[LNB]"I would think about it but I think it would have to be in the Premier League," he said. "Not that the Championship is a bad league at all, but it might suit me differently.[LNB]"I have seen things about Middlesbrough, Celtic and Rangers being interested and there may be others, but a Premier League side would be better.[LNB]"I would, of course, rather stay and be involved at Arsenal though, so we will see what happens."[LNB][LNB]
