Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to offer teenage sensation Jack Wishere a professional contract at the Emirates Stadium in January, with reports that Premier league rivals Chelsea are interested in the attacking midfielder, according to The News of the World.
16-year-old Wishere has been at the North London club since the age of 9, but despite breaking into the first-team squad at Arsenal is still on a £75-a-week YTS agreement. This is due to his age, with the youngster not able to sign professional terms until he turns 17 on January 1st.
This has alerted the Blues, who have reportedly been watching Wilshere, with a view to making an audacious swoop for the England Under-17 International and bring him to Stamford Bridge.
However, Wenger is understood to have moved quickly on learning of the West London clubs interest and will offer Wilshere a six-year deal at the Emirates, worth £15,000-a-week to stop the Gunners young prodigy leaving for Luiz Felipe Scolari’s team.
