Everton set to ‘offer Jack Wilshere £8million sign-on fee’ if he joins from Arsenal on a free in the summer
England midfielder's current deal at the Emirates runs out in July and the Toffees have been linked with a move to bring him to Goodison Park
EVERTON are reportedly going to offer Jack Wilshere a massive £8million sign-on fee to join from Arsenal.
Wilshere, 26, is out of contract with the Gunners at the end of the season but has been offered new terms.
But The Times are claiming the Toffees are ready to break the bank to lure the England midfielder to Goodison Park.
Arsenal have told Wilshere he must take a pay-cut on his £110,000-a-week wages if he wants to stay at the Emirates.
But his contract will also give him a chance to increase his pay with bonus payments and appearance money.
Everton are not the only club interested in Wilshere with Italian giants Juventus also reportedly looking.
