English Premier League side Arsenal FC are reportedly set to make changes to their set-up at the end of the season, reports claim.
Sources are reporting that the Emirates are making plans to ship off England international Jack Wilshere away from the club at the end of the season. Serie A’s AC Milan seems to be the likely destination according to Italian news sources, Corriere dello Sport. The out-of-favour midfielder is currently spending time at Bournemouth, and with the stability in the first team, it is unlikely that he would return anytime soon.
Wilshere has admitted that he could exit Arsenal on a permanent basis if things do not quickly change. A move for Italy could be favourable as the Rossoneri are keen on adding him to their ranks. AS Roma are also believed to be interested in the midfielder.
Elsewhere, Arsenal are hoping that Rennes winger Paul-Georges Ntep agree to a move to the club despite interests from Liverpool. The 24-year old is expected to exit the side when his current deal lapses next summer. TMW reports that Rennes are willing to release the player if a suitable offer surfaces. The player is expected to enter transfer talks with interested parties by the January transfer window.
Arsenal would have to lure the player, as the Reds are keen on getting him. Watford and Southampton are also in the background. Ntep joined Rennes from Auxerre, and has been decent for three seasons now. He has received two caps for France and is expected to agree if the Arsenal deal works out.
On the current set-up, Olivier Giroud keeps insisting that he would remain at the Emirates despite his future being cast in doubt. The France international has vowed to fight for his shirt despite losing his spot to Chile international Alexis Sanchez.
