West Ham United midfielder Jack Wilshere has failed to make much of an impact at the London Stadium so far.

Jack Wilshere has told BT Sport that he has been impressed with West Ham United’s stadium since moving to Manuel Pellegrini’s side in the summer.

Many West Ham fans have still not fallen in love with the London Stadium since their move from Upton Park.

However, Wilshere insists that he is very happy to be playing in such a sizeable ground.

He said: “You look at the stadium, playing in this week in week out, fill it up every week, the fans are brilliant.

“I think for any football that’s what you want, playing in big stadiums in front of passionate fans and that’s what you get here.”

Wilshere has had a difficult time at West Ham so far, and he has made a minimal impact.

Pellegrini started the former Arsenal man in the first few weeks of the season, but he looked short of his best.

Wilshere has now missed weeks of the campaign with injury, and he remains on the treatment table.

Wilshere has suffered complications after trying to come back from an ankle problem, and been kept out for longer than initially expected.

The England international is predicted to be back fit again soon though, with West Ham’s next match coming against Manchester City after the international break.
