Crystal Palace, Newcastle or West Ham – the best move for Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere?
Arsene Wenger is preparing a summer clearout at Arsenal, with eight players expected to be moved on in the coming weeks.
This is according to the Daily Mail, who have named Jack Wilshere as one of those likely to depart the Emirates Stadium after being sent on loan to Bournemouth last season.
Where the midfielder will go next remains to be seen, but here are three potential Premier League moves for the England international.

Crystal Palace
The Sun reports that after missing out on Wilshere to the Cherries last term, Palace are keen to sign the 25-year-old on loan this time around – although that depends on the Gunners offering him a new contract.
How realistic that is considering the Englishman has fallen down Wenger’s pecking order remains to be seen and he may well prefer a fresh start somewhere else on a permanent basis.
Newcastle United
No concrete links as yet, but with transfer business having been surprisingly slow at St James’ Park so far this summer this could be the deal to reignite excitement among the fans.
Jonjo Shelvey has the quality to compete in the English top flight, but the introduction of Wilshere could really take the Magpies’ midfield to another level as they prepare for their first campaign back in the top tier.

West Ham United
The Hammers have been strongly linked with the midfield ace for some time and according to the Daily Express, seem his most likely destination if he stays in England.
Wilshere could potentially be seen as an upgrade on captain Mark Noble, whose form has declined rapidly over the past 12 months, and he would be assured of regular game time.
