Burnley boss Owen Coyle made a cheeky bid for Arsenal young gun Jack Wilshere prior to the sides meeting in the league midweek.
The Clarets manager cheekily asked Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger if he could have Wilshere on loan during the pre-match meeting on the pitch.
There have been reports recently that the 17-year old is ready to develop his education elsewhere although he would love to remain in Wenger’s first team plans.
Coyle took it upon himself to enquire about Wilshere’s availability but Wenger remained coy about the England U21’s future.
