Everton consider Jack Wilshere bid as Ronald Koeman plots major squad overhaul

EVERTON boss Ronald Koeman is keen to make Jack Wilshere part of his squad overhaul at Goodison Park.

Koeman has told his Toffees bosses they need to make a major investment in the playing squad to deliver success to the Merseyside club.

And England midfielder Wilshere is high on his wanted list as he seeks to bring in a top class creative player to the heart of his midfield.

Wilshere is currently on a season-long loan spell with Bournemouth having been forced to leave Arsenal to prove his fitness after almost two years out injured.

His form and fitness with the south-coast club has shown he has put the injury issues that plagued him firmly behind him.

And that has been enough to convince Koeman he could be a valuable addition to his squad for next season.

Wilshere, 25, has 18 months left on his current deal with Arsenal and boss Arsene Wenger now faces a decision over what to do with a player he has had such high hopes for throughout his career.

Wenger said late last year he would be interested in offering Wilshere a new deal, but he already has several other players in that position in his squad.

And the Gunners may decide to cash in on one of their few home-grown players – especially if they can get a figure of around £20million for him.

To get such a fee, they would need a string of clubs interested in signing him and Manchester City have already asked to monitored of his status at the London club.

City would be able to put together a strong financial package, but Everton would represent the opportunity for regular first team football - something Wilshere is keen to keep up as he tries to force his way back into the England squad.
