"Would be Phenomenal" - Newcastle Fans React as Arsenal Midfielder Linked With Tyneside Move

A host of Premier League clubs were put on red alert this week after Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere announced he would be leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of June.

The 26-year-old, who has played for Arsenal for ten years since graduating from the club's youth setup, was told by new Gunners boss Unai Emery that he would not play a major role in his squad next season, prompting the midfielder to seek pastures new.

Though Wilshere would be available on a free transfer, the player's wage demands could be a sticking point for certain clubs.
