Arsenal could have potentially planned to use Jack Wilshere as a secret agent to secure a summer transfer target and solve the striker problems at the club.
According to French outlet L’Equipe, Wilshere was offered to Ligue 1 side Lille on a short-term deal last month, but the club turned him down despite the Englishman willing to join on trial.
The Gunners have made a lot of signings from Lille in the past with players such as Gervinho, Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Magalhaes. Now, they are reportedly interested in Jonathan David.
