Arsenal transfer news: West Ham plot deadline-day swoop for Jack Wilshere
WEST HAM are considering a season-long loan deal for Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, according to reports.
Jack Wilshere was loaned out by Arsenal to Bournemouth last season and he could be set for another spell away from the Emirates this term.
The Sun claim West Ham are considering taking the 25-year-old on a season-long deal but will wait until deadline day before making up their mind.
The report says the move hinges on the Hammers’ ability to sign Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho.
If a deal for the Portugal international fails to materialise, the London club will reportedly swoop for Wilshere on deadline day.

Slaven Bilic is reportedly keen to add another quality midfielder to his ranks before the transfer window shuts.
He has set his sights on Carvalho but if Sporting fail to budge on their £40million asking price a deal looks unlikely.
The Sun say the West Ham hierarchy have identified Wilshere as a deadline-day possibility.
And should his loan spell at the London Stadium go well, they will assess the option of a permanent move when he becomes a free agent next summer.
The England international is yet to agree a new deal with Arsenal, despite being in the final 12 months of his contract.
He has only just returned to full fitness after suffering a broken leg last term on loan with Bournemouth.
But his route back to the Gunners first team has been halted after he was sent off in an Under-23s match against Manchester City last week.
Wilshere has made 160 appearances for Arsenal since 2008, scoring 12 goals and providing 24 assists in all competitions.
