Overview

• Wilshere has held discussions with Luton, and multiple outlets report agreement is close though not finalised.
• Luton dismissed Matt Bloomfield earlier this week and accelerated their search for a replacement.
• Leyton Orient’s Richie Wellens was among the final candidates, but Wilshere is now viewed as the frontrunner.
• If appointed, this would be Wilshere’s first permanent senior role after coaching Arsenal’s youth teams and a two-match unbeaten interim stint at Norwich.
• Luton sit 11th in League One after consecutive relegations, adding urgency to secure new leadership.
