Jack Wilshere signed a short-term deal with Championship outfit Bournemouth earlier this month having briefly trained with them.

The English midfielder was keen to keep fit while searching for a new club after parting ways with West Ham United by mutual consent on summer transfer deadline day, and he eventually linked up with the Cherries once again.

The 29-year-old had a loan spell at the Vitality Stadium in 2016-17 towards the end of his Arsenal career, and they decided to hand him a deal till the end of 2020-21 after he impressed during training sessions.

West Ham fans came for Wilshere’s head afterwards, mocking him for joining Bournemouth after he allegedly called the Hammers a small club.

The former Gunners midfielder has now cleared the air and set the record straight, insisting he never said what some West Ham fans claim he did during a Q & A session on Twitter:

Never said that. Simply said the football didn’t suit my style of play. Was my dream to play for the club i supported as a boy. But thanks for the love
