Given their desperation to sign a home-grown player to play in accordance with the Football Association rules, Manchester City have prioritized the capture of Raheem Sterling and Jack Wilshere this summer.

The Arsenal midfielder has time and again expressed his intent to dedicate his entire footballing career to the Gunners and he even went on to slam the Citizens for wanting to lure him to Etihad Stadium only to add to the homegrown quota.

According to English media, Arsenal head honchos are impressed with the way their youth product has retaliated to the rumours and have made their minds to reward him for the same by making him one of the top earners at the club.

Despite his regular of man-of-the-match accolades, it is a truism to claim that his progress has been largely marred by injuries. The London club do not seem to offer him the hike only for him to be on the injury table as it is believed that the improved deal would come into force halfway into the season.

According to rumours, Manchester City are ready to offer him more than what he would ever be able to make as far as he bears the Arsenal crest on his chest, but Arsenal’s desire to give him what he deserves could be morale-boosting, if not satisfying.

Tipped in to wear the captain’s armband for his nation and country in the near future, Jack Wilshere has become that figure at Arsenal, whom the board and the fans would never want to lose, no matter how astronomical the bid.
