Jack Wilshere is seemingly open to making other plans after reportedly being overlooked for England's World Cup squad, having playfully accepted an offer of a holiday to Zante from a stranger on social media.

The Arsenal midfielder has not appeared for the Three Lions since Euro 2016, but appeared to be in the running for a place on the plane to Russia.

However, a series of late-season knocks are said to have convinced Gareth Southgate to look elsewhere.

And Wilshere suggested he will be free over the off-season with his response to someone inviting him on a trip to Zante with "the lads".

Alongside two laughing emojis, he replied on Twitter: "Let me know the dates and I'm in."

Wilshere continued the light-hearted interaction by adding: "Can I bring the baby as well?"
