Arsenal are ready to reward Jack Wilshere for a positive showing at this summer’s European Championship with a contract extension.

Wilshere has two years remaining on his existing deal and remains of interest to Manchester City but, even in spite of his injury record since 2011, Arsenal still want him to stay at the club in the long-term.

Wilshere has started only one league match all season – against Aston Villa on the final day of the season – but, as a product of the club’s academy, is one of the players most closely identified with by fans.
