Ex-Arsenal star Jack Wilshere regrets joining West Ham

Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere regrets joining West Ham.

Wilshere explained what he's looking for in his next club on the Super 6 Podcast.

"I'm open to MLS, Europe anything with the right manager," the former England midfielder, now a free agent, said.

"I think the good thing about when I went to West Ham was that they brought in Pellegrini who tried to make us a team that had the ball. Obviously that didn't work out for him.

"At Bournemouth they had a manager who wanted to try and play and I had a really good year there. When I went to West Ham, I didn't know it was going to be how it was.

"With my experience now, I'd be silly to go and sign for a team who are in a similar position to West Ham.

"When there is a relegation battle, teams want to nick a point and stay up, nick a goal and try and defend. That's not the type of player I am.

"I want to enjoy my football and play 25-30 games a season."
