Genoa are emerging as a surprising option for West Ham United midfielder Jack Wilshere.

The Englishman is set to leave the Hammers, and could even have his contract ripped up.

Per Il Corriere dello Sport, Genoa are interested in signing the ex-Arsenal man.

Wilshere's career has stagnated since his early years, mostly due to injury problems.

He only managed 16 Premier League appearances in two years with the Hammers.

It is unclear if Genoa would be willing to match the wages he earns at West Ham.

The Italians may even opt to offer a performance heavy contract to Wilshere, given his injury history.
