West Ham United midfielder Jack Wilshere is edging closer to joining Glasgow Rangers this summer. 

Earlier this week, David Gold confirmed on social networking site Twitter that Wilshere has departed the Club by mutual agreement.

I can confirm that Jack Wilshere has departed the Club by mutual agreement, and Xande Silva has joined Greek side Aris Thessaloniki FC on loan until the end of the season. Good luck gents. dg pic.twitter.com/Uk3Sgo8tSk

Now, Italian journalist Nico Schira has claimed that the Gers are in advanced talks to sign the former Arsenal midfielder.

The former England international is currently a free agent after terminating his £100,000-per-week contract with West Ham on Monday.

Many West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to express their reaction after the reports broke out. Here are some of the selected tweets:

Wonder what his wages are there Surely more than the 15% he missed out on when we paid off 85% of his contract. Couldn’t we have done a deal to send him there and then just pay a proportion of his wages for the rest of the season instead of a lump sum

So signs the day after we release him. Jesus. Rangers were looking for a bargain then as surely we could have sold him for something!!!!
