West Ham Eye Up Available Wilson
West Ham United’s striker search takes a new turn with Callum Wilson reportedly set to be available from Newcastle United.
Sportslens previously linked Wilson to the Hammers, and now GiveMeSport claims Newcastle will sell the 32-year-old to comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
However, West Ham face competition for Wilson’s signature, with his former club AFC Bournemouth also rumoured to be interested.

West Ham’s forgotten man
Wilson boasts a proven goalscoring record in the Premier League. This season alone, he has netted 10 goals in 25 appearances for Newcastle. Across his entire Magpies career, he has tallied 48 goals and 11 assists in 107 appearances.
His ability has garnered praise from legends like Alan Shearer, who called him a “proper centre-forward” . Wilson even has international experience, representing England on nine occasions and scoring twice.
With a contract lasting until 2025, Wilson shouldn’t command an exorbitant transfer fee. West Ham will need to act decisively if they are to secure his services amidst reported interest from Bournemouth.
Although at 32 years of age and a potential fee of £20 million, I think we could do better.
