Wilshere’s big day could end on Swiss-bound jet

|

Jack Wilshere is expected to put pen to paper on his three year deal tomorrow (Mon).

We understand that he has passed through an exhaustive medical and that the former Arsenal and England midfielder will become a Hammer within 24 hours.

However, he will have no time to hang around as Manuel Pellegrini wants his new signing in Switzerland before the day is out.

Wilshere will become key to the team’s creativity and needs to settle into training and gel with his new team mates as soon as possible.

We were told the player should sign on Monday and immediately be on a jet for Switzerland.

Meanwhile the boss has revealed that Michail Antonio will join training tomorrow and Hammer of last season Marko Arnauotovic is also due into Switzerland this week.

Aaron Creswell has picked up a small muscle injury and Winston Reid is still recovering from a knee injury picked up last season.
