Wilshere welcomes former teammate to West Ham

Former Arsenal favourite Jack Wilshere revealed the club’s capture of Lucas Perez on social media.

The Spaniard has teamed up with former colleague Wilshere after securing a deadline day move to join West Ham.

Perez arrived at the Olympic Stadium for just £4m – not even a quarter of the £17m the Gunners paid Deportivo la Coruna in 2016.

Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini has been eyeing the Spaniard as a back-up for first-choice strikers Marko Arnautovic and Javier Hernandez.

But it was former Gunners midfielder Wilshere who first broke the news.

In a video posted a video to his Instagram story showing Perez wearing a West Ham training kit inside the dressing room.

He looks up at Wilshere and pulls a huge grin, before looking back down at his phone.

Wilshere, who quit Arsenal last month to pursue regular first-team football, even added three hearts to show his support for his teammate.

Arsenal meet West Ham in the league at the Emirates on August 25.
