Jack Wilshere would be open to a move to Rangers should the Ibrox club come calling.
The former Arsenal midfielder has been heavily linked with a switch to Glasgow ever since he departed West Ham on transfer deadline day.
It's now emerged he'd consider a reunion with ex England teammate Steven Gerrard, although Rangers are yet to make their move.
A source close to Wilshere told PA: "Rangers would be an option for Jack if there had been any contact. So far, however, there hasn't been any.
"Jack thinks Rangers are a great club. They tried to take him on loan when Walter Smith was in charge back in 2010 just as he was starting out at Arsenal but he ended up going to Bolton."
Wilshere has made no secret of his admiration for Gerrard.
When the former Liverpool midfielder announced his retirement in 2016, Wilshere posted on Instagram: "As a kid growing up I wanted to be like him, it was a dream come true to line up next to him in an England shirt."
Wilshere endured a frustrating time at West Ham, and said on social media he had been overlooked despite having been "fully fit for large periods of time" at the club he supported as a boy.
His wage demands could yet prove an issue for Gers, although the Ibrox coffers have been swelled this week by £5million worth of fresh investment from Asia-based businessman Stuart Gibson.
Wilshere did admit in an interview with talkSPORT on Friday that he was looking to "something different".
He added: "I am leaning towards that. Maybe LaLiga, Italy, something a little bit different that not many English players have done.
"At the same time, I am probably going to take a week or two to decide. I was in this position when I left Arsenal and if I have learnt anything from that, it is to take your time and make sure it is right for you.
"Not that I have regrets that I went to West Ham because in my head things would have turned out differently. But this time I am going to take my time and find something that suits me.
"I just want to be happy playing football again. When I first signed for West Ham and the first three games when I started, before I picked up a little injury, that was probably the last time I could tell you I was happy playing football.
"I want to go back on the pitch with a smile on my face and play 20-30 games a season where I am an important player for a team."
