Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has joined West Ham on a three-year deal and says he has moved to the club he supported as a boy.

The 26-year-old England player’s contract with the Gunners expired at the end of June.

“I’ve got good memories of my childhood supporting West Ham, watching them at Upton Park,” he said.

“It feels good and of course my family and a few of my friends are West Ham fans so everyone’s buzzing.”

The Hammers are also closing in on the signing of Ukraine forward Andriy Yarmolenko.

A fee of about 20m euros (£17.66m) is understood to have been agreed with Borussia Dortmund.
