Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling has taken to Twitter to troll former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere about the photo he uploaded to announce himself signing for Bournemouth.
Wilshere has recently signed a short-term deal with Championship side Bournemouth after impressing manager Jason Tindall while training with the club to gain fitness.
The 29-year-old was without a club after he left West Ham in the summer of 2020 and the midfielder had been training with ‘The Cherries’ in a bid to improve his fitness as he seeks out a new club – which he did.

Sterling retweeted Wilshere’s post and said: ‘My brother congrats (but please crop the pic next time.’
The 26-year-old was of course referring to Jack Wilshere’s huge image that had so much border above and below the image Sterling came back with another brilliant bit of trolling.

To give you an idea of jus how big Wilshere’s image was, here it is in full length:
According to Sky Sports the 29-year-old has signed a short-term contract until the end of the season and he will wear the number 11 shirt.
He made 27 appearances and ‘The Cherries’ who finished ninth that season – the highest finish in the club’s history.
Wilshere had previously considered a move abroad with America’s MLS or Spain’s La Liga looking like the favourable destination. West Brom were also reportedly interested in securing his signature.
Thankfully for Bournemouth the creative midfield chose them and he has become their first signing of the season.
