Jack Wilshere, who transitioned into coaching after ending his playing career in 2022, has experience as Arsenal U18 manager and also worked at Norwich, who play in the second tier of English football. At Norwich, he was appointed interim head coach for the final two league matches following the departure of Johannes Hoff Thorup.
After leaving Carrow Road at the end of the 2024-25 season, Wilshere was approached by Luton Town to replace Matt Bloomfield, who was dismissed after less than a year in charge. The former England international agreed to take over the team in October and has since recorded victories over Northampton Town and Forest Green.
Whilst Wilshere is still settling in at Luton, he has received advice from former Tottenham and Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood. Sherwood believes that the former midfielder should actively try to persuade Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to join his team at Kenilworth Road. Oxlade-Chamberlain was spotted training with Arsenal on Monday and is currently a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with Turkish side Besiktas.

However, he added: “But he himself may be aiming much higher and probably is.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain has already turned down a number of lucrative offers from abroad, as his priority is to remain in England. Whether the former Liverpool midfielder would consider a move to the third tier is another question. The 32-year-old player, who has not played a competitive match since May, is expected to train primarily with Arsenal's younger teams until he finds a new club, according to American outlet ESPN.
Interest in England from Leeds United and Birmingham City
Two clubs in England have already expressed interest in Oxlade-Chamberlain. Premier League newcomers Leeds United have shown interest in bringing the experienced midfielder to Elland Road, according to Football Insider. There is also speculation that financially strong Birmingham City are pursuing him.
“A number of clubs are looking at him closely,” said transfer expert Pete O'Rourke. “He has an excellent CV, he played for Arsenal and Liverpool, he is a Champions League and Premier League winner from his time at Liverpool.”
O'Rourke added: “There is interest from clubs in the Premier League, Championship, League One and across Europe, with Leeds and Birmingham among them. I am certain he will be ready to return to England after several years away and I expect his future to move forward soon.”
It should be noted that clubs can sign free agents outside the transfer window, but they can only play if the team has a vacant registration spot in their squad.
