West Ham in Talks to Sign Jack Wilshere

West Ham are in talks to sign Jack Wilshere on a three-year deal after the midfielder’s departure from Arsenal as a free agent.

Wilshere has been targeted by Manuel Pellegrini, who took over from David Moyes as West Ham’s manager in May. The 26-year-old, capped 34 times by England, is also understood to have an offer from Fenerbahce.

Wilshere said he left Arsenal after it was made clear by the new manager, Unai Emery, that his playing time would be significantly reduced if he stayed at his boyhood club.

West Ham have signed the centre-back Issa Diop, goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and defender Ryan Fredericks this summer.
