Antalyaspor approach for Jack Wilshere

According to the Express, Arsenal have received an enquiry from Antalyaspor for Jack Wilshere but he wants to prioritise a move to West Ham.

Wilshere’s future at Arsenal is in serious doubt recently, with the club saying that they’ll listen to any offers for the 25-year-old and West Ham, Swansea, Sampdoria and now Turkish side Antalyspor have been linked with a move to sign him.

Wilshere spent last season on loan at Bournemouth and made a personal record amount of appearances in a season, featuring 27 times for The Cherries, but his season was cut short when he fractured his leg vs Spurs in April.

Arsene Wenger values Wilshere at £20m and he does not want to loan out the midfielder again but with his contract running out next year, the current price tag may come down.

Wilshere would want to get game-time next season as the World Cup is just around the corner and first team football week in week out would up his bid massively to get into the England squad.

Antalyaspor president said this about the Wilshere move “We made an enquiry and are in talks but Arsenal want a lot for Wilshere.

“It will be a difficult move to pull off.”

So if Arsenal do want to offload the Englishman, the price-tag may have to decrease.
