Brazil's Fortaleza go for Wilshere ahead of Copa Libertadores debut

Brazil's Fortaleza are moving for free agent Jack Wilshere.

O Povo says the club are targeting Arsenal's former midfielder ahead of their Copa Libertadores debut.

Club chiefs are apparently looking to boost Fortaleza's profile with some well-known foreign signings.

And Wilshere could be the first through the door on a free transfer next month.

The English playmaker, 29, has been without a club since leaving Bournemouth last summer.

Wilshere snubbed a move to Wayne Rooney's Derby County in the last transfer window.

And he has since been training with old side Arsenal, where he played 197 times during ten seasons.
