Rangers favourites to sign Jack Wilshere
Steven Gerrard’s side lead the market as 2/5 favourites, indicating a 71% implied probability being offered by bookies.
That’s due to the heavy percentage of bets on the Glasgow side, with 42% of all bets on Wilshere’s next club in the last 24 hours, all backing Rangers.
Could Jack Wilshere stay in the Premier League?
A move within the Premier League is the next most likely, with Aston Villa currently 15/8 second favourites.
Both a return to former side Arsenal and a switch to Crystal Palace are priced at 16/1, whilst Fulham are available at 20/1.
Any MLS side to sign the former Gunner is 22/1, whilst Bournemouth and Southampton are both on the periphery of the market at 25/1.
Leading football stats site, WhoScored.com, revealed to oddschecker that the percentage of minutes played by Wilshere has majorly declined over the last few years.
In 2018/19, he played 11.4% of minutes available, followed by 6.2% in 2019/20 and then 0% in 2020/21.

Oddschecker spokesperson Callum Wilson: “Poor old Jack Wilshere has seen his career stall, so a move North of the border might be the perfect way to reignite himself.
"If he can stay injury-free, the England man is still a fine player, and this change of scenery could well see him return to his best.
“Punters are certainly backing it to happen, with Wilshire’s transfer market the most popular transfer page on oddschecker this morning.”
