The Daily Mail are today reporting that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is weighing up whether or not he should offload Jack Wilshere to Liverpool.
Arsenal boss Wenger was again, defending Wilshere last week following a new release of photographs in which the midfielder was caught with a pipe in his hand.
Wilshere has struggled for fitness over the last few campaigns. He has been out injured for the majority of the last four seasons, picking up injuries every few games and it seems that he has not been fully fit for some time.
According to the source, Arsenal have slapped a price tag of around £25million on the England international and it appears Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool are interested in a deal. Liverpool are set to lose their star in Steven Gerrard as he heads for LA Galaxy in the MLS, and it is rumoured that they are considering a move for Wilshere as a replacement.
Wenger given price for Verratti
Arsenal have also been given an astronomical fee of around £40million they would need to fork out if they are to sign PSG’s Marco Verratti.
The Gunners have reportedly been interested in making a top quality signing to add to Arsenal’s midfield however, if they want to capture Verratti, it will cost them a huge amount.
It is reported that Wenger is a keen admirer of the midfielder however his form and promise has attracted interest for teams across Europe. It is believed that Serie A champions Juventus are interested in acquiring his services. Verratti’s recent form has also pushed him into the Italian squad, receiving 10 caps for the international side.
