Arsenal stalwart moving to West Ham

-

Football: Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has joined West Ham United on a threeyear deal, the Premier League side announced yesterday.

Wilshere left Arsenal at the end of last season following the expiry of his contract, ending a 17year stay at the north London side, but the 26yearold said he was pleased to join a club he has supported since childhood.

‘‘It feels good, it feels special. Many people know that I’ve had a special bond with this club growing up,’’ Wilshere told West Ham’s website.

Wilshere made his senior debut for Arsenal in 2008, and went on to make 197 appearance­s, winning the FA Cup twice, in 2014 and 2015. — Reuters
