Wilshere rules out ever joining Tottenham: I'm an Arsenal man

Jack Wilshere has ruled out joining Tottenham Hotspur due to his loyalty to Arsenal.

The 28-year-old is a free agent after his contract with West Ham United was terminated by mutual consent.

It has been over a month since Wilshere left the Hammers, but still no new club has arrived.

Asked on the Super 6 Podcast what he would do if Spurs made him an offer, the former Gunner said: "You know what, I love Jose Mourinho, I think he's an unbelievable coach.

"But I don't think I could do it. You know what as well, let's be honest, they're not going to have me.

"I don't think I could. It's not as if Arsenal got rid of me and kicked me out and there is bad feeling, they offered me a deal and I wanted to try something else. I'm an Arsenal man."

Wilshere has stated that he is open to moving to MLS or Europe for a fresh start.

Scottish giants Rangers have also been linked with the former England international.
