Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is chasing Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere.

The People says Craven Cottage chief Hodgson is one of many managers asking Arsenal about their England Under-21 star.

But although Arsene Wenger may be willing to let the teenager out on loan, he is reluctant to lend such a talent to a club threatening the top places in the Premier League.

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish is still keen and St Andrews could be the player's most likely destination for the second half of the season.
