Jack Wilshere has had no second thoughts that the move to West Ham was absolutely the right decision since arriving at the club.
The former Arsenal man enjoyed 45 impressive minutes on the pitch yesteerday against Preston and started to show signs that he was set to become the club’s serious playmaker.
He had a chance to make mega bucks in Turkey at Fenerbahce but turned it down when the Hammers and Manuel Pellegrini cam calling.
He explained: “The chance to play abroad was tempting and when I’d decided to leave Arsenal, I spoke to a few clubs. There were options I was considering.
“There were a few foreign teams and every option I had I really thought about it. But I’ve never been a player motivated by money.
“My decision to leave Arsenal was purely based on playing football. I had a good contract on the table at Arsenal that I could have signed and been happy with.
