Callum Wilson is reportedly negotiating his exit from West Ham United just five months after joining the club. The 33-year-old forward signed a one-year contract on a free transfer in August under former head coach Graham Potter.
Wilson’s Performance and Future Uncertainty
During his short tenure at West Ham, Wilson scored four goals in 18 appearances. His latest contribution came in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on November 22. Prior to joining West Ham, Wilson spent five years at Newcastle United.
Changes at West Ham United
West Ham is actively restructuring its forward options. The club recently secured deals for strikers Pablo Felipe from Gil Vicente for about €20 million (£17.4 million; $23.4 million) and Taty Castellanos from Lazio. These additions could signal a shift in focus away from Wilson.
Potential Departures
- Wilson may become the third forward to depart West Ham this month.
- Nicolas Fullkrug has already signed with AC Milan on loan for the remainder of the season.
- 22-year-old Luis Guilherme has moved to Sporting CP after making only 18 appearances for West Ham.
Coaching Pressure and Team Performance
Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo faces increasing scrutiny following the team’s disappointing performance, which culminated in a defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Despite the pressure, West Ham management has expressed commitment to support him in the upcoming transfer window.
Currently, West Ham sits at the 18th position in the league table. They will be looking to secure crucial points in their next match against Nottingham Forest, who are placed just above them at 17th.
