Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is considering letting teenage midfielder Jack Wilshere join Premier League side Burnley on loan.
The 17-year-old England Under-21 international has made six appearances for the Gunners this season.
"Wilshere needs to play," said Wenger. "Burnley is a good club. They play good football, but Jack must want to do it.
"I like the idea, but at the moment we are a bit short. Jack is in the squad nearly every game."
Wilshere became Arsenal's youngest-ever league debutant when he made his competitive debut as a late substitute against Blackburn at Ewood Park in September 2008.
