Newcastle United are said to be interested in signing Jack Wilshere from Arsenal this summer.

Newcastle United fans appear to be of the opinion that their money would be better spent elsewhere than on Jack Wilshere.

The Daily Star report that Newcastle are interested in signing Wilshere, but Arsenal are asking for £20 million for the England international.

And Newcastle supporters feel that price is simply too much for a player who has struggled badly with injury.

Arsenal are known to be looking to offload Wilshere this summer, with Arsene Wenger desperate to make room for some more additions.

Newcastle are believed to be interested in snapping up the 25-year-old, but his arrival would take a sizeable chunk out of Rafael Benitez’s transfer budget.

Newcastle have limited funds to spend, and the widespread opinion is that Arsenal have simply priced them out of the market.

Newcastle have struggled to get Benitez’s top targets so far this summer, but if Wilshere was to join, he would become the sixth new arrival at St. James’ Park during the transfer window to date.
