The 28-year-old has really struggled to establish himself with the Hammers since moving to the London Stadium on a free transfer in the summer of 2018.

Wilshere’s perennial injury problems have continued to hinder his progress. And the 34-capped England international has played just 18 games for the Hammers, racking up only one goal and one assist in the process (Transfermarkt).

David Moyes is desperate to move the £100k-a-week former Arsenal man on this summer, according to a report from the Times.

And the Evening Standard claims that the MLS could be an option for Wilshere. And it is allegedly an option that the midfielder is open to.

There are Championship club’s apparently keen on the 28-year-old’s signature as well.

The report claims that David Beckham’s Inter Miami could be a potential destination for Wilshere.

Getting the former Arsenal man’s wages off the books this summer will be key to David Moyes’s plans.

The Scot desperately needs to strengthen his ranks at the London Stadium this summer. But with players like Wilshere on £100k-a-week, the Scot has absolutely no chance of doing that.

And if we can move the 28-year-old injury crock on, even on a free transfer, it would be a good move from the club.
