It's been a big season in terms of game time for Jack Wilshere at Arsenal.

After years of injury issues with the Gunners, the Englishman appears to back in the swing of things in north London, playing 39 times this season.

While his performances have flattered to deceive on occasion, it's hard to argue that simply playing regularly again at the highest level is a big, big step for Wilshere.

Nevertheless, Arsenal still have some concerns - which you can't blame them for - and have offered him a new contract with a reduced basic wage.

However, the bonus incentives related to his fitness and game involvement are said to be very lucrative.

The financial predicament has sparked rumours that Wilshere may look for a new challenge elsewhere, but an inside source close to the player has revealed some information that pretty much sums it all up for the 26-year-old.

Only the likes of Everton, Leicester, West Ham and newly-promoted Wolves have shown interest, with Wilshere's friends now urging him to extend with Arsenal as those clubs are 'underwhelming'.

A source told SunSport: “The interest in Jack so far is underwhelming and friends are telling him he should stay at Arsenal.

“He might have to take a pay-cut but the bottom line is he is wanted by Arsenal and they’re a better bet than the clubs that are after him at the moment.

“At least, he can still play in the Europa League.

“Everton, West Ham, Leicester and Wolves aren’t Arsenal.

“Wolves, however, is an interesting one for him because they actually are going to be spending a fair bit of money and is an exciting project.”

The bigger clubs just aren't interested anymore, which is sort of hard to understand given that he would be a free transfer ad wouldn't command the highest wage in the world.

On his day, he's still an unbelievable talent, but it's now more obvious than ever that his stock on the footballing market has plummeted.

An Arsenal extension now looks like it'll be a formality.
