Leeds United supporters are keen to Jack Wilshere strutting his stuff at Elland Road.

Jack Wilshere of Arsenal is chased by N'Golo Kante of Chelsea  during the Carabao Cup Semi-Final Second Leg at Emirates Stadium on January 24, 2018 in London, England.

Leeds United fans have urged Andrea Radrizzani to show ambition and make a move for Jack Wilshere.

Wilshere announced on social media yesterday that he would be leaving Arsenal in the coming weeks, in search of a new challenge.

The England international midfielder is available on a free transfer, as his contract with the Gunners is expiring, and Leeds fans are keen to see him brought to Elland Road.

Wilshere is currently on a £90,000-a-week deal at Arsenal according to the Daily Mail, so convincing him to move to Leeds would be difficult.

However, Leeds appear to have a bigger budget than in recent years, and the appointment of Marcelo Bielsa has captured the imagination of supporters at Elland Road.

If Wilshere was to arrive at Leeds it would surely be the most impressive signing any Championship side make this summer, but the transfer appears highly unlikely at the moment.

Wilshere is valued at £8.6 million by the CIES Football Observatory, so whoever picks him up on a free transfer will obviously be landing a bargain.

Bielsa is yet to make his first signing since taking charge of Leeds, but the Whites are expected to be busy in the coming weeks.
