West Ham United is currently taking an approach to signing “exciting” strikers, according to the report.
Hammer closes the contract to sign Wilson
Graham Potter will need to bring in a new striker as Missil Antonio is due to leave this summer despite being rehabed at West Ham, and Callum Wilson is currently locked up on a move to London Stadium and agrees to his personal terms.
Wilson will be available for free transfers upon expiration of the British Newcastle United contract. This means he’s a low-risk addition to the team, but there could be legitimate concerns about the striker’s injury record.
The 33-year-old suffers from persistent injuries in Newcastle. So it’s questionable whether the veteran forward is a good deal for Irons as he couldn’t score one Premier League goal last season.
season | The game I missed |
2022-23 | 9 |
2023-24 | 28 |
2024-25 | 29 |
There may also be concerns about Wilson’s age, given that Hammer is well known to have had the oldest team in the previous Premier League. The former Newcastle striker is undoubtedly in the Twilight years of his career.
As a result, it makes sense to chase after the young striker alongside Wilson, and a new report reveals that West Ham has now made his first move to sign a new center forward.
Certainly, reports from Football Insider show Hammer is currently taking the approach of signing FC Mets striker Idrissa Gay, but there could be tough competition for the 18-year-old signature.
