However, talkSPORT understands the former England midfielder will not be the club’s next permanent boss.
Wilshere joined the club’s coaching staff from Arsenal in October, serving as one of Thorup’s assistants up until his exit.
During his brief stint in interim charge, he oversaw a goalless draw at Middlesbrough and a final day home win over relegated Cardiff.
Norwich instead plan to hire externally as their search for Thorup’s successor continues.
According to the Daily Telegraph, talks have been scheduled with Lijnders for later this week.
The Dutch coach is one of several candidates in the running to be appointed at Carrow Road.
Former Wolves boss Gary O’Neil has also been spoken to by the club after leaving Molineux in December.
Meanwhile, Steve Cooper is another name said to be on the club’s shortlist having previously won promotion with Nottingham Forest in 2022.
Lijnders is available having left Austrian side RB Salzburg six months ago.
