A handful of clubs are interested in taking Arsenal's Jack Wilshere on loan, according to reports.

Sky Sports suggests that three of the five clubs keen are from the Premier League in the form of Crystal Palace, AFC Bournemouth and Watford.

Wilshere has demanded a loan and has since been made available for a temporary deal after falling further down the pecking order under Arsene Wenger following the summer arrival of Granit Xhaka.

The 24-year-old was left out of Sam Allardyce's England squad for this weekend's opening 2018 World Cup opener against Slovakia due to the fact he had hardly played at club level last season because of a leg injury.

Wilshere is determined to receive regular game time and is looking to go out on loan for the 2016/17 season in a bid to push himself back into Three Lions calculations.

The Daily Mail is of the belief that Wilshere, who has reportedly had over 20 offers from clubs worldwide, will complete a move to link up with Alan Pardew at Selhurst Park on Wednesday morning.

It is understood that Portuguese pair Sporting Lisbon and Benfica are also showing interest in the former Bolton Wanderers loanee.

Lisbon already have Gunners forward Joel Campbell on a season-long loan.
