Everton are lining up an ambitious move for Arsenal midfield enforcer Jack Wilshere this summer. According to recent reports, the Toffees are interested in securing the English midfielder’s signature before the start of the new season. The new Everton manager Marco Silva is on the lookout for some classy players in this transfer window who can strengthen his squad and Wilshere fits the bill perfectly.
The Blues of Merseyside are hoping to bring in a marquee signing who can help the club break into the Premier League‘s ‘Top Six’. The English talent has recently revealed that he will leave the North London side this summer as his contract at the Emirates Stadium comes to an end. Some sources are now claiming that Marco Silva is ready to offer him an opportunity to ply his trade at Merseyside but they are expected to face stiff competition from other English clubs in pursuit of the 26-year-old’s signature.
Wilshere had put in some eye-catching displays during the course of last season which has not gone unnoticed by other clubs. However, his Arsenal career has been derailed with injuries which will ultimately lead to his departure from North London. It could turn out to be a shrewd piece of business if Everton can pull off a deal to recruit Wilshere in this post-season. The English ace is exactly the kind of talent who can lift the Goodison faithful and ensure a strong season for the Merseyside club next term.
The Toffees had to endure a tough domestic campaign last term and could only manage to grind out an 8th placed finish in the English top-flight. Marco Silva’s team will now look to bring in some quality players this summer so that they can improve on their league position in the upcoming campaign and close the gap to their cross-town rivals Liverpool, at the top half of the league table.
The addition of Wilshere will undoubtedly bolster Silva’s midfield options ahead of the new season. Everton have some talented midfielders in their squad which include Wayne Rooney, Gylfi Sigurðsson, Idrissa Gueye, Davy Klaassen, Tom Davies and Morgan Schneiderlin who are all vying for a starting berth at Goodison Park. The potential acquisition of Wilshere will definitely improve the Toffees midfield and add more competition for places within their squad.

At 26, the English midfielder still has his peak years ahead of him which the Merseysiders could look to capitalise on, over the new few years. It remains to be seen what lies ahead in the future of the Gunners ace and whether he ends up making a move to Goodison Park this summer.
