Jack Wilshere Willing To Discuss First Team Role With Unai Emery Before Signing New Arsenal Contract

Jack Wilshere will discuss with new Arsenal manager Unai Emery about signing a new contract worth £100,000-a-week – provided he can guarantee him an active role in the squad.

According to the Evening Standard, Jack Wilshere wants to build on his 38 appearances for the club last season and wants a contract which reflects his importance to the team after their run in the Europa League, which saw them reach the semi-finals.

The club have reportedly offered Wilshere a contract heavily dependant on appearances and form, relying on the midfielder’s ability to perform and stay fit for a full season – however this deal would include a reduced wage from his current £90,000-a-week wage.

However, with Wilshere linked with Italian giants Juventus, Arsenal may be willing to cash in on the Englishman and spend their wages on more valuable acquisitions.
