The 23-year-old is being monitored by the Premier League champions after another injury-hit season in north London but his manager insists he is going nowhere
Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal are no longer forced to sell their best players amid reports linking Jack Wilshere with a move to Manchester City.
Goal understands City are monitoring Wilshere's situation as they prepare to refresh a squad that looks unlikely to defend last season's Premier League title and is one of the oldest of any major club in Europe.
Recent years have seen Robin van Persie, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy make a similar switch from north London to Manchester but Wenger insists that Wilshere, who has struggled with form and fitness this season, is going nowhere.
When asked about the possibility of the midfielder joining City, Wenger replied: "We are not in a position anymore where we have to sell our best players."
Wilshere has made just 12 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal this season, scoring one goal.
