Real Betis reportedly "believe they are close" to enticing Jack Wilshere into signing for them as his Arsenal contract nears its end.
The Sun's Warren Haughton reported the La Liga outfit have been in touch with Wilshere's camp, and the midfielder is receptive to a move next summer when his deal at the Emirates Stadium runs out.
The two parties could reach an agreement in January as Wilshere will be free to negotiate with them if he has not signed a new contract or Betis could offer to buy him in a "cut-price" move, though Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is said to be eager to tie him down.
