Could Jack Wilshere overshadow his high-profile two new team-mates at West Ham United?
West Ham United have had a brilliant transfer window so far.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini has welcomed Pablo Fornals and Sebastien Haller to East London – the latter of whom fetched a club-record £45 million.
The Hammers’ Director of Football Mario Husillos is a popular man in East London at the moment, but is it possible that by next May, Jack Wilshere will be considered his best signing at West Ham?
The former Arsenal midfielder has looked head and shoulders above his Irons team-mates in pre-season far, offering a reminder over his undeniable talent and, more excitingly, a reminder of how good he could be.
Wilshere’s first season at West Ham was blighted by injury last term, but if he can post an injury-free year this time around then he could overshadow Fornals, Haller and anyone else who Husillos signs or has signed.
We’re talking about a player who didn’t cost the club a penny after signing him on a free transfer 12 months ago.
It looked a great deal at the time, but his pre-season form indicates that it could be a complete masterstroke, if he can stay fit.
