Manchester City are set to reignite their interest in Jack Wilshere after seeing their £40 million offer for Raheem Sterling turned down.
City are believed to be desperate to add ‘home-grown’ players to their squad this summer and Wilshere fits the bill.
The Telegraph yesterday claimed the deposed Premier League champions are ready to offer an initial £30 million for the 23-year-old midfielder, but are also considering the possibility of throwing in an out-of-favour player into the deal. Either Edin Dzeko, Stevan Jovetic or Alvaro Negredo could be offered to the Gunners in the early stages of negotiations to try and land Wilshere, whose status at Arsenal remains in doubt.
The England international has found it difficult to feature in the Arsenal side since the emergence of Francis Coquelin into the starting XI at the start of the year, not to mention he missed the whole of December, January and March due to injury. To add to this, Arsene Wenger left him out of the starting line-up for the FA Cup final against Aston Villa last month, and is reportedly keen to add another midfielder to the squad this summer, meaning Wilshere’s challenge to get back into the side has become a lot harder.
Wilshere did, however, offer Arsenal fans hope that he will remain at the Emirates, but only if he is wanted at the club, ultimately, leaving his fate and future in Wenger’s hand.
Despite his behavioural issues off the pitch, which hasn’t helped his cause in anyway, Wilshere has become a valuable member of the squad and is adored by the Emirates faithful for his hatred towards Spurs.
Straight swap for Aguero??
i wouldn’t take 30m plus jovetic and dzeko, wilshere is the only player in England that has a different drive from other in midfield. he is unique and if he can work on his goals he will be at the same with yaya toure. so why lose him for jovetic that can’t make Arsenal 1st eleven or dzeko that that we have a similar kind in Giroud
even if it was 5 million for wilshere its a big deal compared to dzeko
Not even the whole of man city squad with £100 000 000 will do #wilshare is a true gunner
Wilshire and Ramsey will he our Xavi and Iniesta .. No ways City ….
snigger
wenger should ask 4 aguero

No way!!!! The thought of selling Wilshere for whatever amount is a sacrilege. This guy is all Arsenal, our future captain, he is more Arsenal than, Thiery Henry, Wenger, even the owners put together. What a mockery. Trade Wilshere indeed!!
Wilshere is arsenal proper but only hampered by series of injuries. The guy is worth £50m and should not be sold for any price whatsoever.
Jack Is Enjoying His Life In London Xo He Wouldn’t Leave For City? Bt He Can Leave Only If City Offer $50m Plus Their Hitman Kun Sergio Aguero.
