Jack Wilshere has been a total disaster signing for West Ham.

The 28-year-old joined the Hammers on a free transfer after his contract expired with Arsenal in the summer of 2018.

Wilshere has played just 16 games for the Hammers, and has racked up only one goal and one assist during those outings (Transfermarkt).

In six Premier League games this season, he has attempted only 10.7 passes per match, with no key passes made (Who Scored).

And there is no return date in sight for the midfielder.

The Evening Standard report that Wilshere is set to undergo a hernia operation, with no expected date of return in place.
