Arsenal transfer news: Jack Wilshere open to move abroad as Juventus target midfielder

Jack Wilshere is open to a move abroad with Juventus among the interested clubs after Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger made the midfielder surplus to requirements this season.

The 24-year-old is set to leave Emirates Stadium following talks in which he was told his first-team opportunities would be limited.

Wilshere has made two substitute appearances so far in the current Premier League campaign – totalling 37 minutes – and was left out of the latest England squad with new boss Sam Allardyce citing his lack of regular action and ongoing fitness issues.

Standard Sport understands Wilshere is yet to make a decision on his next club but is determined to prove he has a future at Arsenal despite his current contract expiring in 2018 and views a move away as a chance to revive his career.

Juventus first expressed an interest in signing Wilshere two years ago but the Gunners dismissed their approach instantly.

However, the Serie A club are believed to be on the lookout for another midfielder after selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United for a world-record fee despite bringing in Miralem Pjanic from Roma.

Arsenal would rather loan him overseas, with Besiktas also interested, as opposed to another English club and Wilshere is believed to be willing to experience another league as he looks to develop his game.
