Jack Wilshere has a “great opportunity” at West Ham, says Sir Geoff Hurst, with the England door set to open again after parting company with Arsenal.
The 26-year-old midfielder brought a 17-year association with the Gunners to a close over the summer as he dropped into the free agent pool.
His next move has not taken him too far – from north to east London – but a fresh start is intended to kick-start a career which has been blighted by injury struggles.
Hammers legend Hurst believes Wilshere can thrive in new surroundings, with it up to him to prove that he can once again be a Premier League star and regular part of the international fold.
