“Despite all my best efforts and intentions, it has not worked out as I expected,” Wilshere, who has been capped 34 times by England, tweeted.

“I’ve been fully fit for a large period of time at the club, including over the course of the last eight months - training hard every day - but unfortunately have not been given the opportunity to play.

“Although of course I’m frustrated that I was not fully able to showcase what I’m capable of at West Ham I remain convinced I can still contribute at the very top of the game.”
