Ray Parlour has suggested that West Ham United would be a good fit for Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere.
Ray Parlour has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 3rd April, that West Ham United should move for Jack Wilshere.
Wilshere’s future at Arsenal is uncertain, heading into the summer transfer window.
The England international has spent the past season out on loan at Bournemouth, where has had mixed success.
Bournemouth want to sign Wilshere on a permanent deal, but Parlour feels that West Ham should rival Eddie Howe’s side for the midfielder.
“I hear West Ham’s been mentioned. I know his Dad’s a West Ham fan,” Parlour said.
“That might be a move for him. West Ham need some strengthening in midfield.
“He’s got a year left on his contract, so he’ll be cheaper than if he had three years left. [He’d cost] maybe £10 or £15 million.”
It is not yet clear whether Arsenal are set to offer Wilshere a new contract, or whether Arsene Wenger wants to sell the 25-year-old.
Wilshere has had a solid season at Bournemouth, where he has largely avoided injury, but he has only been used as a substitute more recently.
West Ham are expected to invest in the summer transfer window, as Slaven Bilic has already suggested he wants more quality in his squad at the London Stadium.
If Wilshere was to move to West Ham, he would be in competition with the likes of Pedro Obiang, Mark Noble and Cheikhou Kouyate for a first-team place.
