Wilshere poised to leave Arsenal to join Norwich

Arsenal Under-18s manager Jack Wilshere is poised to join Norwich as first-team coach.

The 32-year-old is expected to complete a move to Carrow Road in the next few days.

It will not be rubber stamped before the Canaries go to Stoke in the Championship on Saturday, with Wilshere due to be in charge of the Gunners' Under-18s game against Aston Villa.

Wilshere will replace Narcis Pelach who left Norwich last month to join Stoke City as head coach.

The former England midfielder is seen as a long-term appointment by the Canaries and compensation is not an issue.
