Off the wall: Toulon eye ‘Wacko Jacko’ Wilko

JONNY WILKINSON has been dubbed “the Michael Jackson of rugby” by the man who is trying to lure the England star to France.

Wilkinson has been linked with a move to French Top 14 side Toulon and he met representatives of the big-spending southerners last month.

Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal maintains there is still work to be done before Wilkinson’s signature is secured but he feels it would be a major coup if the player was enticed over.
