Jack Wilshere turned down a deadline-day move to Birmingham despite being offered a staggering £90,000 a week to join the Championship outfit as reported by Daily Mirror.

The Arsenal midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, was free to spend another season away from the Emirates.

But Wilshere didn't want to drop down into the Championship at this stage of his career.

Instead, he has decided to stay at Arsenal and fight for his place.

Wilshere has been included in Arsenal's 25-man Premier League squad, following the close of the transfer window.
