Three reasons why Leicester City must sign Jack Wilshere

As Jack Wilshere brings an end to his time at Arsenal, there would be no shortage of clubs who would want to avail his services – but should Leicester City be among those, too? Precisely, yes.

He’s a free agent

Getting Jack Wilshere for free is surely going to be the steal of the summer, shall Leicester City make it happen. They’ve previously been pulling off a few miracles in the transfer window, but this would easily top all of them.

The midfielder’s wage demands might be a bit higher than the others, but isn’t it better to pay him something around €8 million per season than to pay more than thrice the amount for someone else before you even get to the wages?

Also, not having to invest heavily in a central midfielder leaves Leicester with more funds to spend on a direct replacement for Riyad Mahrez. They still need a wide player who can wreak havoc from the flanks like the Algerian does, and it’s likely that they’d be requiring something in excess of £40 million to get a player of that calibre.
