• Wilshere first choice to replace sacked Matt Bloomfield

• Rotherham, Orient and Wycombe win in League One

Jack Wilshere, the former Arsenal and England midfielder, is reportedly close to taking over as the Luton manager. The 33-year-old has emerged as first choice to replace Matt Bloomfield, who was sacked this week, after holding talks with the club’s board at Kenilworth Road.

Wilshere filled in at Norwich at the end of last season where he took charge for the final two games after Johannes Hoff Thorup’s sacking, but did not get the job permanently. He was also in the frame at Plymouth before Tom Cleverley was hired as manager.
