Arsenal set to hand new £110,000-a-week deal to injury-plagued midfielder Jack Wilshere

JACK WILSHERE has agreed a new Arsenal contract, according to reports.

 

Arsene Wenger will reportedly hand Jack Wilshere a new Arsenal deal

 

The injury-plagued midfielder is yet to play a single minute of football this term after suffering a stress fracture in his right foot.

He has only started 10 Premier League matches since March 2014 but despite his injury problems, Arsene Wenger hasn't been put off handing the 24-year-old a new deal.

Earlier this month Wenger hinted at the new deal, despite the midfielder not being fit to return until the end of February. 

The Arsenal boss said: "He has two years left and I want Jack to stay here."

 

Wenger even admitted he was confident Wilshere will be fit enough to go to the European Championships in the summer and the Frenchman believes the midfielder can help England win the whole tournament.

And now website Football Insider claim Wilshere will be offered a new deal, lifting his salary from £90,000 to £110,000-a-week.

Talks have been taking place since last summer about an extension and the midfielder's new deal will run until 2021.

Wilshere was a target for Manchester City last summer but his new deal shows Arsenal have no intention of cashing in on their academy graduate.
