'He combines English grit with Spanish technique' - Wilshere hailed by Gattuso amid AC Milan links

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Italy as his contract in London winds down to its completion

AC Milan head coach Gennaro Gattuso revealed he is a keen admirer of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere ahead of Thursday's Europa League showdown.

Wilshere is out of contract at the end of the season and the Englishman is no closer to extending his time at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealing there has been no progress in negotiations.

The 26-year-old – who emerged from Arsenal's youth ranks in 2008 – has been linked with various clubs, including Milan and Serie A champions Juventus.
