Everton boss Sam Allardyce admits he has 'always admired' Jack Wilshere as club prepare big money offer for out of contract Arsenal star this summer

Everton manager Sam Allardyce admits he is an admirer of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere but refused to comment on interest in the midfielder.

England international Wilshere is out of contract this summer and Sportsmail revealed earlier this month that the Toffees are willing to offer him a big money deal to lure him to Goodison Park.

However, while Allardyce is a fan of Wilshere, 26, he would not confirm Everton's interest in the 26-year-old.
