Arsenal are ready to hand injury-prone Jack Wilshere a bumper pay-rise.
The Daily Star says Wilshere will be handed a new £150k-a-week deal to commit his long term future to Arsenal.
The Gunners midfielder is reportedly a target of Manchester City as Manuel Pellegrini looks to overhaul his ageing squad in the summer.
Wilshere, 23, has endured a frustrating season at the Emirates. He has been sidelined since December with an ankle injury and has courted controversy after being pictured smoking twice in the last 12 months.
Despite this, Arsene Wenger sees him as an integral cog in the future of the club.
