AdminWest Ham have opened talks with free agent striker Callum Wilson, with the club understood to have placed an offer on the table as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
The experienced forward is currently weighing up his next move after leaving Newcastle United following the expiry of his contract.
Wilson is attracting interest from a number of clubs, but West Ham have emerged as one of the leading contenders for his signature.
The Hammers are keen to add proven Premier League quality to their squad and believe Wilson’s experience and goalscoring record could provide a valuable boost.
Despite injury setbacks during recent campaigns, the 34-year-old remains highly regarded for his movement, finishing ability and leadership qualities.
West Ham’s recruitment team have been assessing several attacking targets this summer, but Wilson’s availability on a free transfer makes him an attractive option.
Discussions between the two parties are ongoing, with an offer already submitted for the striker’s consideration.
Wilson scored 88 goals in 221 appearances for Newcastle during a successful spell on Tyneside and established himself as one of the Premier League’s most reliable finishers when fit.
He also earned a number of senior England caps during his time at both Bournemouth and Newcastle.
While no agreement has yet been reached, talks are progressing and West Ham remain hopeful of securing the striker’s signature in the coming weeks.
