West Ham is currently on high alert to potentially sign Callum Wilson before the January transfer window closes. According to The Sun, Newcastle is prepared to sell the 31-year-old for a reduced fee of £18million, creating the opportunity for a surprising deal.
Chelsea and Manchester United are also in the market for a forward, as well as AC Milan and Atletico Madrid, who recently had a bid rejected for Wilson.
Newcastle’s need to sell before buying could pave the way for Wilson to join Michail Antonio at West Ham. The team has struggled in the striker department, with recent signings failing to deliver and Antonio being converted from a right-back.
Despite Wilson’s age, he has shown consistent scoring ability in the Premier League. With seven goals already this season and 18 last season, he could be a valuable addition to West Ham’s lineup.
While Wilson may not be a long-term solution, his experience and current form could benefit the team in the short term. The decision on whether to pursue the deal will depend on the perceived value of his contribution and potential longevity at the London Stadium.
