West Ham United to end interest in Arsenal midfielder?

West Ham United may lose out on Wilshere

West Ham United could reportedly end their interest in Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, who is expected to be available on a free transfer next month.

The 26-year-old has already decided to end his decade-long stint with the Arsenal senior side next month when his contract officially concludes.

As a result, there has been plenty of interest from several Premier League clubs including West Ham, who appear to have now reached a stumbling block over the move.

According to The Sun, the east London outfit are prepared to match Wilshere's demands of a £100,000-a-week package but they are only willing to offer him a one-year contract.

Manuel Pellegrini's side are seemingly doubtful over Wilshere's fitness in the long-run and their hesitancy is likely to urge the midfielder to consider options elsewhere.

Serie A duo AC Milan and Juventus have also been credited with an interest in the Stevenage-born ace but it remains to be seen whether the midfielder would fancy a move abroad.
