Crystal Palace are on the verge of signing Jack Wilshere on a season-long loan from Arsenal, reports say.

The England midfielder is ready to leave the Emirates on loan in order to find regular game time.

According to the Daily Mirror, more than 20 domestic and foreign clubs approached the Gunners in the hope of striking a deal for Wilshere.

Watford, West Brom and Bournemouth were all said to be interested, but it is claimed the 24-year-old is heading to south London to join Alan Pardew’s Palace.

A move across London was allegedly Wilshere’s favoured option considering his family ties in the capital.

Wilshere has made over 100 league appearances for Arsenal since signing his first professional contract in 2008, but injuries restricted him to just three league appearances during the 2015/16 season.
