by Brian Ndungu Habari
Free agent Jack Wilshere ended his long stay at Arsenal by moving to London rival West Ham on Monday.
The 26-year-old England midfielder signed a three-year contract with West Ham, the club said.
Wilshere, who has 34 senior caps and two goals, was unable to win a place in England's World Cup squad.
He spent his entire career with Arsenal, apart from loan spells at Bournemouth and Bolton, after joining the Premier League club's youth system as a nine-year-old. Wilshere's contract expired last month.
Delighted to have officially signed for West Ham United! After speaking with the manager and those at the club I knew my future was at the London Stadium and I can’t wait to get going now. It’s well known that I come from a family of Hammers and it’s a special moment to sign…
Wrote Wilshere on his Instagram upon signing a three-year-deal at the London Stadium.
