West Ham co-chairman responds to £20m Arsenal star link, Turkish league outfit confirm talks
Arsenal star Jack Wilshere has been closely linked with a summer exit but has yet to receive many concrete offers.
West Ham were reported to be plotting a move but it turns out that they are not even looking for a midfielder.
Hammers co-chairman Sullivan did not however, completely rule out a move for the England international.

“I can’t comment on players from other clubs but all I can say is midfield is not a position we’re looking at – but never say never,” Sullivan told talkSPORT.
The Gunners reportedly value Wilshere as being worth £20 million.
The latest developments will come as a boost for Antalyaspor who are currently the only club to have confirmed being in the race for Wilshere.
Scorpions president Ali Safak Ozturk stated that the club made Arsenal an enquiry and that early talks have been held.
The Super Lig outfit are under no illusion that signing Wilshere will be tough but they are keen on the midfielder.
“We made an enquiry and are in talks but Arsenal want a lot for Wilshere,” Ozturk was quoted as saying by Turkish-Football.
“It will be a difficult move to pull off.”
Antalyaspor finished last season in 5th place and their ambitious owners have plans for a top-four finish over the next campaign.
The Mediterranean based outfit have several highly paid players including Samuel Eto’o and recently completed a 30,000 seater stadium project – the first solar panelled arena in Turkey.
