In July 2018, free agent Jack Wilshere signed a three-year contract to join West Ham United. The move came after his 17-year association with Arsenal, where his contract had expired.
Wilshere, who had supported West Ham as a boy, expressed his excitement about joining the club, citing the ambitious plans of then-manager Manuel Pellegrini and the passion of the fans as key reasons for his decision. He joined as part of a significant summer recruitment drive, which also included the signings of Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop, and Lukasz Fabianski.
Unfortunately, Wilshere’s time at West Ham was plagued by injuries, a persistent issue throughout his career. Despite the high hopes and a significant contract, his on-field impact was minimal. Over his two years with the club, he made just 19 competitive appearances across all competitions. This lack of game time, combined with his injury struggles, led to the mutual termination of his contract in October 2020, with a year remaining on his deal.In July 2018, free agent Jack Wilshere signed a three-year contract to join West Ham United.
