Wilshere revealed earlier this week that he would be leaving Arsenal following the expiration of his contract on June 30.

It had seemed for a long time that the Englishman would sign an extension at the Emirates Stadium having worked his way back to form and fitness last season.

However, following a meeting with new Arsenal boss Unai Emery, Wilshere decided that he would be best served moving on ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini is believed to have previously tried to sign Wilshere for Manchester City, and the Chilean is said to be interested in a deal this summer.

The West Ham supporters have been reacting to the speculation on social media, and it would be fair to say that they are desperate for the deal to go through.
