According to The Mirror, Jack Wilshere will not be forced out of West Ham United.

It has been reported that West Ham want to terminate Wilshere’s contract now, with the former Arsenal midfielder’s current deal running until next summer.

The 28-year-old earns £100,000 per week as salary at the Hammers, who want to get his wage-bill off their books, with the midfielder having had injury problems during his time at the London Stadium so far, according to the report.

However, according to the report, Wilshere will not be forced out of West Ham.

West Ham United exit?

According to WhoScored, Wilshere played just 212 minutes in the Premier League for West Ham in 2019-20, while in 2018-19, he played 389 minutes in the league.

Injuries have affected the 28-year-old for the past two seasons at West Ham, and one can understand why the Hammers want to terminate his contract.

However, Wilshere is within his right to stay at the London club until the end of his current contract, and if he is fit and available, then he should be given a chance.

A fit and in-form Wilshere will be a massive asset for West Ham manager David Moyes.
