West Ham are ready to sell Jack Wilshere this summer.
The London side are reportedly desperate to get midfielder Jack Wilshere off their books this summer and trim his £100,000 per-week wages from the club’s bill.
Wilshere joined West Ham in July 2018 from Arsenal but his appearances have been limited due to injuries.
A report by The Times states that the club are actively looking to buy out what remains of his contract or subsidise a move to another club.
Since joining West Ham two years ago, Wilshere has started just six games, and now the Hammers want to cut their losses as the player enters his final year.
West Ham were cornered into handing Wilshere a three-year deal in 2018, such was previous manager Manuel Pellegrini’s determination to get the transfer sealed and create a more possession-conscious side.
If West Ham do not buy Wilshere out of his deal it is reported that they will express a willingness to interested clubs to help subsidise wages and pay whatever the difference is, in order for Wilshere to agree to a move and avoid a pay-cut on his current weekly earnings.
