West Ham United are reportedly close to signing Jack Wilshere on a Bosman.
It looks like Jack Wilshere might be closing in on a move to West Ham United.
The Sun claimed on Saturday that the former Arsenal man would join West Ham next week, after undergoing a medical with the East London club.
Wilshere, who will reportedly earn £100,000 per week, will divide opinion among many fans of the Irons, but he would be an exceptional signing.
The 26-year-old midfielder is available on a free transfer after being released by the Gunners and, well, Manuel Pellegrini has nobody like him in his United squad.
Wilshere, who has 34 England caps, will bring an acceleration and dynamism in midfield that no other West Ham player offers.
Such penetrative running and passing could be a huge bonus for Pellegrini’s side and, considering he’s free, the Hammers might not come across a better bargain this summer.
There is no disguising the fact that he has struggled with injuries, but Wilshere has been consistently fit for a while now and appears to be over the worst of his fitness concerns.
