Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce seems open to signing Jack Wilshere from Arsenal and Robert Snodgrass from Aston Villa in the summer transfer window.

Aston Villa's new signing John Terry and manager Steve Bruce during the press conference at Villa Park on July 3, 2017 in Birmingham, England.

Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce has suggested to talkSPORT that he would be interested in signing Jack Wilshere from Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

Wilshere is back at Arsenal following a season-long loan spell at Premier League rivals Bournemouth during the 2016-17 campaign.

The 25-year-old suffered with injury problems at the Cherries and has yet to feature in the Premier League for Arsenal this season.

It is going to be hard for the England international midfielder to play regularly for the Gunners this season due to the competition for places.

Villa manager Bruce has suggested that he would be open to signing Wilshere and told talkSPORT when asked about bringing him to Villa Park: “The Jack Wilshere one – hey, who wouldn’t want Jack Wilshere? But I don’t know whether we’re capable of landing him and let’s not forget he’s only 25.”

The Villans have been linked with a move for West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass in the summer transfer window.

According to a report in The Daily Mail, the Championship club are leading the race for the 29-year-old former Leeds United and Norwich City winger.

Villa manager Bruce has revealed that he wants to sign the Scotland international.

“Snoddy is somebody I’ve known for a long time – I bought him for Hull – so that’s something we’re looking into and exploring,” Bruce told talkSPORT.

Villa are aiming to win automatic promotion from the Championship to the Premier League at the end of the season.
