As reported by The Star, Everton are interested in signing Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere on a free transfer this summer.

What’s the story?

Wilshere still hasn’t signed a new deal at the Emirates Stadium despite offers and with his contract set to expire at the end of the month, he is one of the hottest properties in this summer’s transfer window.

The Star report that Everton are one of the teams interested in his services, rivalling the likes of Newcastle and West Ham United for his signature.

The paper say that the player is set for talks with Unai Emery but is still unhappy with the terms offered on his potential new contract at the club.

The player has previously been reported to earn £110,000-a-week at the Gunners.

A good signing?

There may be question marks around Wilshere to compete at the level Arsenal are looking for in the future, but he has more than enough quality to make an impact at the London Stadium.

Coming into his prime years as a player, the midfielder appears to have put most of injury issues behind him, making 38 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions in 2017/18.

He needs a manager who puts belief and purpose into his game and being given new midfield responsibility at Everton under Marco Silva could be the making of him.

The Toffees themselves are looking for attacking midfield improvement after difficult seasons for Wayne Rooney and Tom Davies and Wilshere has both the ability and experience to improve Everton.

The transfer of Theo Walcott demonstrated that squad players at the top six sides can give the Goodison Park outfit a big boost and Wilshere would likely be no different.
