The 29-year-old has been training with Bournemouth, where he spent the 2016-17 season on loan from Arsenal, since last month. Wilshere had his contract at West Ham terminated in October after making nine starts in two and a half years.

Bournemouth are hopeful the midfielder will be formally registered with the English Football League before midday on Monday, meaning he would be eligible to play against Derby on Tuesday.

Wilshere made 27 appearances for Bournemouth as they finished ninth in the Premier League – the highest position in their history – four years ago. Relegated from the Premier League last season, Bournemouth are currently third in the Championship.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth defender Jack Simpson is set to join Cardiff, who are also keen on a deal for the Crewe right-back and captain Perry Ng.
