Jack Wilshere is an important part of Arsenal and has helped the Gunners groom the next young talents since becoming the club’s U18 coach.
However, we will need him to help add a new top-quality player to the squad at the end of this season, can he?
Arsenal is keen on Declan Rice, but the midfielder is also being targeted by most of England’s top clubs, which should make it hard for any suitor to win the race.
However, the Gunners have one man who could make a difference: Wilshere.
After leaving the Emirates, the Arsenal youth coach went to West Ham and the Daily Mail reports he built a bond with Rice there.
They have remained close and this relationship could help Arsenal win the race. So it is time for agent Wilshere to get to work.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Wilshere might have an influence we can use to get this deal sorted as one of the most respected midfielders of his time.
Rice must have learnt so much from the ex-England international, which means he respects Wilshere and we hope it works in our favour.
For now, we need to do the work behind the scenes and try to find the agreement on the player side before the transfer window reopens.

Our midfielders are aging and we need something that’s totally ready to stap up at the end of the season, So Rice is the best option as for now but if we face other scenarios like that of Mudryk then we go for other options. Other wise NO NO NO panic buys any more other wise our squad is okay and attractive for any player to make decision.
Well this could only be a feather in Arsenal cap.
The kid am told likes being in the city though most players do, but he is also an admirer of Arsenal and who’s very impressed with the program.
It’s time for Arteta starts to get his first choice players, can just imagine if he had gotten the Vlohovic’s, Lacottelli’s etc
Any fan who is naive enough to imagine that Wilshere has the ability to persuade Ricde to sign for us is not thinking straight.
IF Rice comes to us it, will be because he sees a club and team with a glorious few years right ahead and wants to be part of that.
He will see that with or without the aid of Wilshere telling him what he already knows.
And even before that, he needs to want to come. Even more importantly, we need to want him and be able to afford him. Wilshere will have precisely ZERO influence on those matters.
The things that count, in fact!
I do not rate Rice as high as others on here and certainly don’t think he’s worth the money being touted around (even though we can afford him) but my biggest thought is that we are not interested in him and he won’t be coming to Arsenal.
