Turkish-Football asked a source close to Fenerbahce whether Wilshere has agreed terms with the club.
The source revealed that there have been talks but that he could not confirm whether a deal was in place.
Wilshere was expected to leave Arsenal over the summer and two other Super Lig clubs were in talks with the midfielder.
Trabzonspor president Muharrem Usta confirmed entering talks with the 25-year-old during the summer transfer window.
Usta told Turkish-Football: “I held direct talks with Jack Wilshere.
“We wanted him on loan and were close to a deal but the move stalled at the last moment.”
Meanwhile Antalyaspor club president Ali Safak Ozturk confirmed talks with the England international over a summer move.
“We made an enquiry and are in talks but Arsenal want a lot for Wilshere,” Ozturk was quoted as saying by Turkish-Football.
“It will be a difficult move to pull off.”
