If you’re keeping track of the number of clubs interested in signing Jack Wilshere on loan this season, you can now add Besiktas to that list.

The Turkish club were reportedly interested in Manchester City midfielder and Arsenal’s arch enemy, Samir Nasri, but there are claims that he’s rejected them, leading them to turn their attention to Wilshere.

At the moment, just about every club in Europe is reportedly interested in Wilshere. Juventus, Valencia, Celtic, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Everton and Bournemouth have all been linked.

The 24-year-old is thought to be seeking a move away from north London for one season after failing to get adequate game time. It’s fair enough. After Arsenal signed Granit Xhaka, a lot of us did wonder where Wilshere would get a look in.

A loan move could be fantastic for Jack if he can stay fit (and out of trouble).

Unlike a lot of Arsenal fans, I think it could be massively beneficial.
