The scramble for Jack Wilshere on loan could be the busiest stampede of the window as we head toward its climax.
Clubs have been alerted to the midfielder's temporary availability after Arsene Wenger held talks with the player and they decided a move away from Arsenal could help get his career back on track.
Wenger has ruled out a side challenging for a top-four spot in the Premier League but that leaves a host of others that the 24-year-old would be warmly welcomed at.
Given, also, Wenger has made it clear he will not let him go permanently there are unlikely to be scores of Champions League level sides willing to take him on for just a season to improve him for a rival next season.
