'I'm confident I can play more next season' - Wilshere to work on fitness through summer

Jack Wilshere has no plans to rest this summer and will instead work hard on getting back to full fitness after an injury-disrupted first season at West Ham.

The 27-year-old joined the Hammers from Arsenal last summer but, much like how his career at Arsenal was characterised, the move has been plagued by injuries.

He has suffered two separate ankle injuries this season, the last one coming in December and he didn’t return to action until he made a brief appearance from the bench during the 2-2 draw against Leicester City on April 20.
