Pundit believes Celtic have no chance of signing Arsenal ace.
England’s Jack Wilshere during training
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is to be allowed to leave the club on loan, report SkySports.
Wilshere’s numerous injuries in recent years have left him in need of regular football to get back on track – which he is unlikely to get at Arsenal due to the competition for places.

Sides across Europe are likely to be alerted to his situation, with Wilshere a talented player who could improve a number of clubs.
Former striker Chris Sutton was quizzed last night on the possibility of his former club Celtic making a move – and while he agreed it would be an outstanding deal for the Scottish side – he dismissed it as fantasy.
Celtic could of course offer Wilshere the chance to play Champions League football, which he would not get if he moved to a mid-range Premier League side like Crystal Palace.
Also potentially in their favour could be manager Brendan Rodgers, who Wilshere knows from the Premier League, and the Arsenal ace could thrive playing his style of football – although it is unclear if a move north of the border is an idea Wilshere has even entertained.
