da esport bet: According to reports in The Sun on Sunday, West Ham United believe they can compete the signing of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere this summer.
What’s the word, then?
da supremo: Well, the England international’s contract with the north London outfit expires at the end of the month, and the two parties haven’t yet come to an agreement with The Sun on Sunday saying that Wilshere held talks with Unai Emery last Monday.
The Sun on Sunday says that the Spanish boss told the 26-year-old that he wants him to stay at the Emirates Stadium, but they aren’t willing to increase their £100,000-a-week offer – which would see the midfielder take a wage cut.
The report adds that West Ham, who should forget Alfie Mawson and sign a £10m-rated Championship centre-back instead, are willing to hand him a four-year deal worth £130,000-a-week, and Manuel Pellegrini has told him that he wants to build his newly-inherited team around him.

How did Wilshere do during the 2017/18 campaign?
At the beginning of the season it seemed almost certain that the 26-year-old would be leaving the Emirates this summer, but he quickly became more and more of a starter under Arsene Wenger despite spending the previous campaign on loan at Bournemouth.
Wilshere made 40 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and providing a further seven assists.

Would he be a good West Ham signing?
He certainly would be.
The 26-year-old may have suffered his fair share of injury problems in recent years, but there is no doubting the quality he has.
He would be a huge character in the middle of the park for the Irons, and he would be a real statement signing on a permanent basis.
The England international would bring some bite and an ability to bring the ball forward, and he would help the east London club secure Europa League football next term.
