Jack Wilshere has held face-to-face talks with West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini ahead of a potential move to the London Stadium.

Fenerbahce have made a huge offer to the free agent — but the Hammers are also trying to wrap up a deal for the midfielder, who made the emotional decision to leave boyhood club Arsenal last month.

Wilshere is understood to have discussed how he would fit into Pellegrini’s plans and is now deliberating his next move.

The offer from the Turkish giants will almost certainly eclipse the Hammers’ deal, but Wilshere’s decision will not be purely a financial one with his family settled in London.

Remaining in the Premier League would give Wilshere the opportunity to stay in the capital and stay on the radar of England manager Gareth Southgate as he aims for an international recall next season.

Wolves and Everton are also interested but West Ham and Fenerbahce appear to be leading the race.
