Xavi has told The Daily Record that Jack Wilshere would succeed at Rangers under manager Steven Gerrard.
The former Barcelona and Spain international midfielder, who is a legend of the game and won the World Cup in 2010, believes that Wilshere would be the best player in the Scottish Premiership if he stays fit and plays regularly for Rangers.
According to Press Association, the 28-year-old midfidler is willing to join the Gers if manager Gerrard approaches him.
The report has claimed that although no one from Rangers has approached him yet, the Englishman himself would be keen on listening to what Gerrard would have to say.
Wilshere is a free agent at the moment following his departure from West Ham United last week.
Xavi told The Daily Record regarding Wilshere: “Rangers could be a very good fit for him. The pace in Scotland is not as fast as England and it would give him more time on the ball. That is where he excels, his vision and passing is incredible.
“They are a big club with a young coach who knows what it takes to win at the very highest level. There is also the chance of him having the chance to play Champions League football again. That is where every player wants to be and at Rangers he will be given the opportunity to fight to play in it.
“Gerrard will be a big fan of his for sure. They share a lot of similar qualities. It would be a risk because of his injuries but if Rangers could manage to keep him fit and without injury, he would be the best player in Scotland.”
Should Rangers make a move for Jack Wilshere?
Wilshere has had injury problems over the years, but he is fit and ready to play now.
The Englishman has not played much football for the past two seasons, and it could take him a while to get used to the rhythm of competitive football again.
However, a fit Wilshere in full flow would be an asset for Rangers and would enhance the Gers’ chances of winning the Scottish Premiership title this season.
