Burnley loan deal will suit Wilshere, claims Wenger

ARSENE WENGER is ready to let teenage midfielder Jack Wilshere go on loan to Burnley.

The Arsenal manager admitted he was considering letting the 17-year-old, England Under-21 international go to Turf Moor as he took in a Champions League draw which pitched the Gunners against Porto yet again.

Arsenal have faced the Portuguese champions in the Champions League in two of the last three seasons and Wenger said: “It is a 50-50 game. Porto are difficult to play against. The advantage is we have a second game at home. It’s important we try to score away from home but it’s a difficult draw. Difficult but feasible.”
