Jack Wilshere is edging towards a season-long loan deal with Crystal Palace.
Arsenal midfielder Wilshere has already held talks with Palace boss Alan Pardew, who is in pole position to sign the England international.
The 24-year-old had a staggering 22 offers from clubs at home and abroad after we revealed that the Gunners were prepared to loan him out.
Watford, West Brom and Bournemouth all made approaches on Tuesday, Roma’s sporting director Franco Baldini tried to take him to Italy and Spanish side Valencia are also keen.
Wilshere, who has two years left on his current contract, wants to move to get regular football after being axed from the England squad.
Palace appeals as it is still in London, near his family and children, while his dad Andy also believes a move to Selhurst Park would offer a fresh start.
Arsenal do want a sizeable loan fee and for clubs to meet his £80,000-a-week wages, but Palace — who have signed Liverpool’s Christian Benteke, fellow striker Loic Remy from Chelsea and Newcastle’s England winger Andros Townsend this summer — are confident of getting a deal done.
