Free agent midfielder Jack Wilshere has insisted he would never be able to move to Tottenham.
Wilshere came up through Arsenal’s academy and spent 10 years as a part of the first-team set-up with the Gunners, making 197 total appearances.
Though he marked himself as one of England’s most promising talents, Wilshere did not completely fulfill his potential with Arsenal due to a host of injury issues.
He joined West Ham in 2018 but his time with the Hammers was also blighted by injuries, as he managed only 19 appearances over two seasons – including just six Premier League starts.
West Ham ended Wilshere’s £100,000-a-week contract early in October, making the 28-year-old a free agent.
Though Wilshere is still without a club, he told the Super 6 podcast that his Arsenal ties would make any move to their north London rivals impossible.
When asked if he would ever consider a move to Tottenham, Wilshere responded: “I love [head coach Jose] Mourinho, I think he’s an unbelievable coach… But I couldn’t do it.”
