# Celtic: Alan Brazil’s drops Jack Wilshere transfer claim

**TalkSPORT broadcaster [Alan Brazil](https://talksport.com/who/alan-brazil/) has backed free-agent Jack Wilshere to make Celtic his new club, [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/jack-wilshere-urged-make-celtic-25060093) report.**

### The Lowdown: Wilshere without a club

Wilshere has been [without a club](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/profil/spieler/74223) since the summer after leaving Championship side Bournemouth.

The 29-year-old, who has scored [20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/leistungsdaten/spieler/74223) goals during his senior career, was recently [training](https://football-italia.net/jack-wilshere-training-with-como/) with Italian side Como.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta [admitted](https://metro.co.uk/2021/09/16/mikel-arteta-reveals-jack-wilshere-conversations-but-laughs-off-arsenal-return-15269400/) earlier this month that the Gunners have been in conversation with their former midfielder in regards to helping him find a new club, and Brazil thinks Celtic Park could be the ideal destination.

> “By the way, Scottish football’s not slow you know.
>
> “It’s lively up there, as one or two people have found out when they’ve gone up there.
>
> “But I think the Celtic fans would take to him if he found his form, with his dribbling skills and taking the ball and running at defenders.

### The Verdict: A risk?

Celtic have already landed a central midfielder on a free this summer in [James McCarthy](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12371889/celtic-sign-goalkeeper-joe-hart-and-midfielder-james-mccarthy), however, the Irishman has [reportedly](https://theathletic.co.uk/2834532/2021/09/19/celtics-midfield-is-too-porous-without-mcgregor-and-there-is-no-effective-plan-b/?article_source=search&search_query=devlin) been struggling in Ange Postecoglou’s intense training sessions.

On that basis, bringing Wilshere, who can play in [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/profil/spieler/74223) different midfield roles, could be a risk going off his injury history.

The last thing the Hoops would want is to sign the [England international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/profil/spieler/74223), only for him to repeat McCarthy’s struggle and possibly get injured at Lennoxtown.

However, a possible pay as you play move could be a shrewd idea given his [versatility](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/profil/spieler/74223) and [experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/leistungsdaten/spieler/74223) at the top level.
