West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere is hopeful of finding a way through his injury problems.

Wilshere has been left frustrated in recent years.

For many, one of the most promising English players of the 21st century has not fully reached his potential, despite over 30 caps for his country.

He said: “The last couple of years have been frustrating. I obviously started [my career] really well at Arsenal, I was enjoying it, I was loving it, almost taking it for granted.

"Then I picked up an injury and I sort of started to understand my body, started to understand that this happens in football.

“I enjoyed my time at Arsenal, and obviously I went to Bournemouth, had a good year but picked up another injury.

“I came back, was told that I could leave but managed to stay and fight my way back into the team and had a good year.

“Then I made the decision to leave Arsenal and join West Ham."
