The Hammers want to sign the Arsenal star at the end of the 2016/17 campaign and Arsene Wenger will probably give the green light for the deal to go through.

Wilshere, 25, will be out of contract at the end of the next season. The Englishman was sent out on loan to Bournemouth at the beginning of the season.

The Sun claim West Ham want to sign the player and offer £30m for Wilshere.

A source told the publication: “West Ham want Jack and have put feelers out – which haven’t been rejected.Staying in London appeals to Jack and with West Ham now in the Olympic Stadium he can see a club as one that can challenge for European football.”
