The Arsenal ace is reportedly attracting attention from Everton, but West Ham United should join the race.
West Ham boss David Moyes will be desperate to bolster his ranks at the London Stadium this summer, with the addition of a top class central midfielder surely featuring highly on his agenda.
One potential option for the Hammers is Arsenal ace Jack Wilshere, who will be available on a free transfer this summer, if he fails to agree terms on a new deal with the Gunners.
The east London outfit will face stiff competition for the England international’s signature, however, with Everton leading the race to sign him, according to Football.London.
West Ham simply must pull out all the stops to beat the Toffees in the race for Wilshere’s signature, though.
The 26-year-old is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, when fit, and his ability on the ball, combined with his wonderful vision and range of passing would add so much to the Hammers setup.
The Arsenal man has suffered horrendous luck with injuries over the past few years, but his availability on a free transfer means that the risk associated with signing him would be minimal.
Wilshere is the type of player who would surely become an instant fan favourite at West Ham, what with his tenacious approach to the game.
He is also a boyhood Hammers fan, according to the Daily Star.
The England international could still agree terms on a new deal with Arsenal, of course, but if he is available on a free transfer in the summer, West Ham should not hesitate to bring him to the London Stadium.
