Everton 'confident of Jack Wilshere deal'

Everton are reportedly becoming increasingly confident of securing the signature of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.

Wilshere is yet to agree a new contract at the Emirates Stadium, and the England international will see his current deal expire at the end of June.

The 26-year-old has worn the captain's armband in recent weeks after working his way back into the team, and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has spoken on a number of occasions of his desire to keep the midfielder.

However, according to Football London, Everton are prepared to offer Wilshere a sizeable signing-on fee, and the Toffees will also match the Englishman's wage demands as they look to secure his signature.

Wilshere has scored twice in 34 appearances for Arsenal during the 2017-18 campaign.
