AC Milan eye loan-to-buy option for Jack Wilshere

Italian side AC Milan will propose to sign Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent switch at the end of the season.

The England international is available on a temporary contract this summer after he held discussions with coach Arsene Wenger.

Wilshere, 24, has suffered numerous injuries over his eight-year career, and it seems he is unlikely to earn a regular role at the Emirates until he proves credentials elsewhere.

The Sun says the Rossoneri will table a loan deal for the player with an obligation to buy for £30m next summer.

Wenger has rated his asset highly over the years, and as things stand, he would reluctant to offload the midfielder on a permanent basis for whatever the price.

English champions Leicester City and Everton have also been credited with interest for the injury-plagued star.
