Strong rumours West Ham will be signing Arsenal's Jack Wilshere soon. I've always thought he's a West Ham-type player and indeed he comes from a family of West Ham supporters in Hitchin. On the other hand, he'd be an old-style West Ham signing, a Harry Redknapp-stye gamble as Arsenal are getting rid of him because of his poor injury record. Wilshere looked like he'd be the future of both Arsenal and England at one point.
To be more positive, he did make 38 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal last season and on a free transfer, even at £100k a week, he'd prove a bargain if he kept fit. With Lanzini out for most of the season, Wilshere looks a natural for the playmaker's role and his family connections should ensure he plays for the shirt. A younger option would be Aston Villa's Grealish, who might cost £30m, but it doesn't seem WHU are in that league yet.
Yes there are still fitness doubts, but emotionally Jack Wilshere seems a good fit for West Ham — I'd look forward to seeing him at the London Stadium. And he did once open the new art block at my daughters' primary school, so he seems to be quite a decent bloke too.
