James Milner
Out of contract this summer, Milner has been rumoured to be on his way out of the club, with Liverpool linked to a move for the player.
Wilshere, like Milner, is a versatile operator who could help Manuel Pellegrini plug gaps across the midfield.
Similarly, should the Arsenal man arrive at the club, he would be another home-grown option for City’s Champions League squad, further reducing the need to extend Milner’s contract.
The former Leeds United man has also been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, and should he move to Arsenal, he could pave the way for Wilshere to switch in the opposite direction.
