MLS clubs eyeing up swoop for Wilshere

Several unnamed MLS clubs are reportedly interested in signing Jack Wilshere from West Ham in January.

According to Football Insider, via HammersNews, a number of MLS sides are keen on Wilshere and would like to bring him over to the states. 

The report claims that West Ham are ready to sell him after failing to make an impact at the London Stadium in the last 18 months. 

Since joining the club in the summer of 2018, he has made just 16 first-team appearances, scoring once.

Wilshere has only managed 176 Premier League appearances in 11 seasons due to his chronic injury issues. The intensity of the league is, perhaps, too much for him to handle, which would mean that a move to the MLS could be perfect for him.

The football in the MLS, with all due respect, is not as intense as the Premier League, whilst also being a step below in terms of quality. This means that Wilshere could go over there and look to avoid injuries and finally play regular minutes at a decent level. If he can prove himself over in the MLS, it may even convince another team in England to give him a chance.
