Sam Allardyce hails Jack Wilshere but refuses to comment on transfer | OneFootball

Everton manager Sam Allardyce has refused to be drawn on whether the club will look to sign Jack Wilshere in the summer.

The Toffees boss however, has hailed the midfielders revival in form this season and has admitted that he hopes to see the England international “have a long career ahead of him.”

Rumours have circulated wildly over the past few weeks that Wilshere will leave Arsenal at the end of the season, with his contract set to expire.

The Goodison Park side are one of the teams that have been heavily linked with his signature, however Allardyce has remained coy on the speculation.

“I can’t comment on that, you’re not supposed to be talking about that,” he told talkSPORT when asked about Wilshere.

“I’ve always admired him, oh yes.

“I’ve seen a big difference in Jack Wilshere recently, in his frame, in his body,” he went on. “He looks like he has really got the bit between his teeth.

“He looks a lot fitter than he was and he is leaner in his face. He looks like he’s had a real go off the field, with his diet and extra training, to overcome his injury problems and prove what a great player he is.

“Hopefully if he is over his problems, whether it’s Arsenal or another club, we all hope he has a long career ahead of him.”
