Cole urges West Ham midfielder Wilshere to consider MLS

West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere is being urged to move to MLS.

Joe Cole says football in the US would be good for the former Arsenal playmaker.

“I really like Jack, he's a fantastic player and I think he's very similar to myself, in that when he came onto the scene it was all very exciting for everyone," Cole told talkSPORT.

“I feel for Jack because he hasn't even been able to really get there, he's never really played regularly in his career and he's 28 now.

“His injuries have been so much, I think he just need to play football now and enjoy himself.

“He's got a young family and he would absolutely love the States, particularly if he goes to a place like Miami or Tampa, somewhere warm.

“It actually makes your body feel a lot better playing in those climates.

“I'm a big fan of Jack's and I'd just love to see him playing football, that's his natural habitat and he's such a talented player."
