Jack Wilshere to leave Arsenal next month

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere appears to have made his mind up to leave the Gunners on a free transfer following discussions with manager Unai Emery.

The England international has just two weeks on his existing deal with the Gunners and The Mirror suggests that he is prepared to end his 17-year association with the club.

Wilshere is said to have held a meeting with Emery earlier in the week but this has not convinced him to stay after the Spaniard refused to assure him of a regular role next term.

The north London outfit are currently close to sealing the signature of Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria and the Uruguayan's arrival is expected to pave the way for Wilshere's exit.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Ham United and Everton are among the English sides monitoring Wilshere whilst there is also interest from abroad with Juventus said to have already placed a contract offer on the table.
