Injuries and lack of form have seriously hampered him: Wilshere has controlled 35 minutes of football since October.

If they fail to succeed in a deal, West Ham will look to sell Wilshere this summer.

Depay, 26, suffered a terrible fate at Manchester United between 2015 and 2017, scoring two goals in 33 Premier League games.

“We very temporarily reject an opening offer that is not anywhere near its valuation.”
MAIN TERM

This provides maximum football resistance one WEEK to complete the transfer.
According to Kevin Palmer, Leverkusen needs the deal to be resolved within seven days, in order to get a replacement for next season.
The two were, at last glance, about nine million pounds apart in his ratings for the 21-year-old offensive midfielder.
Havertz is willing to move to Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea also has to do so in defence and half camp.
