West Ham United midfielder Jack Wilshere has admitted that his move to the club from Arsenal "hasn't worked out" as he had hoped so far.

Wilshere ended a 17-year stay with the Gunners in 2018, joining the Hammers after his contract in North London had expired.

However, the injury problems which plagued much of his Arsenal career have also affected him in East London, with the England international being limited to only 16 appearances during his 21 months as a West Ham player.

"It hasn't worked out for me, I'll be honest. It hasn't gone the way I wanted it to, I've missed too much football, I haven't played enough games," Wilshere told Stadium Astro.

"I want to get back on track, get my career back on track, get playing games week-in, week-out and start to feel like a footballer again. The last couple of years have been frustrating. I obviously started [my career] really well at Arsenal, I was enjoying it, I was loving it, almost taking it for granted.

"Then I picked up an injury and I sort of started to understand my body, started to understand that this happens in football. I enjoyed my time at Arsenal, and obviously I went to Bournemouth, had a good year but picked up another injury.

"I came back, was told that I could leave but managed to stay and fight my way back into the team and had a good year. Then I made the decision to leave Arsenal and join West Ham."

Wilshere has made it into double figures for Premier League starts only twice in the last six seasons.
