But, according to the report in the Mirror, neither club will land him as Wilshere, 26, is set to sign a new contract.

Wilshere will reportedly accept a basic-wage pay-cut to stay at boyhood club Arsenal – though will be able to earn extra through a series of bonuses.

He earns £110,000 a week on his existing deal but will see that slashed to £90,000 a week.

But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has begged fans to believe him when he says he will tie Wilshere’s future down to the Emirates – like he did with Mesut Ozil.

He said: “We try to make progress and I told you that many times for Ozil. You never believed me.

“I’m positive as I want him to stay. I do the maximum to make him happy.”

Wilshere’s career has been revived since returning to Arsenal after a season on loan at Bournemouth.

In December, Wilshere said: “I definitely want to be here.

“I’m enjoying my football and I love playing in the Premier League now and I want to help Arsenal get to where they should be.

“We just have to sort things out and I’m sure that will happen in the next couple of weeks and it will be sorted.”
