# Hammers looking for ways to offload Wilshere

West Ham United are actively trying to offload midfielder Jack Wilshere this summer, according to a report on [Football Insider.](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-try-to-find-buyer-for-wilshere/)

As stated in[the report](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-try-to-find-buyer-for-wilshere/), West Ham co-owner David Sullivan is eager to find an exit route for the injury-prone Englishman, who has missed a large portion of the season.

The chiefs at the club have held discussions about what to do with the 28-year-old, who still has [over a year remaining](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/leistungsdaten/spieler/74223) on his contract.

The [report](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-try-to-find-buyer-for-wilshere/)claims that a loan move could be on the cards, whilst the club could also be ruthless and terminate his contract, making him a free agent at the end of the campaign.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

This news should be music to the ears of West Ham fans.

[Many supporters](https://readwestham.com/2020/03/06/west-ham-fans-dont-want-to-see-much-more-of-wilshere/) have been calling for the club to get rid of Wilshere, who has missed a remarkable[53 games for the Hammers due to injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jack-wilshere/verletzungen/spieler/74223).

The former Arsenal man is one of the team’s highest-paid players, earning £100,000 a week at the Hammers, according to [data website Spotrac](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/west-ham-united-f.c/payroll/).

Therefore, we feel that letting him go could be the best possible option for the club when looking at it from a financial perspective.

Offloading Wilshere could provide the club with more space on the wage bill, potentially allowing them to explore other options in the transfer market.

It would be a ruthless decision to get Wilshere out of the club with one year left on his contract but it is a decision which we feel needs to be made because he’s not impacting the club’s results on the pitch at the moment.
