Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will turn down any offer from Manchester City for Jack Wilshere, but he won't be rushed into handing the England international a new contract.
Jeremy Wilson of the Daily Telegraph reports the Gunners "will wait until into next season" before opening talks on an extension to Wilshere's deal.
His current agreement runs until 2018, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk, but rumours of City's interest continue to do the rounds in the English press. Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News reports Wilshere is a "back-up option" for Manuel Pellegrini's side if City's bid to land Juventus starlet Paul Pogba fails.
