West Ham ‘tight-lipped’ as Callum Wilson agrees personal terms for transfer
West Ham United fans appear to be waiting for Callum Wilson to be announced at the London Stadium this transfer window.
David Sullivan has a good relationship with Will Salthouse, the former Newcastle United striker’s agent, which may arguably have helped the Hammers secure a deal.
Wilson is said to have agreed on personal terms at the London Stadium, and it feels like a matter of time before he’s finally part of Graham Potter’s squad.
While supporters are waiting for official confirmation, an update has emerged regarding the English centre-forward at the Irons.
West Ham tight-lipped about Wilson transfer
Wilson has been offered a risk-and-reward deal at the Hammers, which includes a lower basic wage but significant appearance and goal bonuses.
While the East London club have struck an agreement with the 33-year-old through Salthouse, they are “tight-lipped” about whether and when he will sign his contract, according to West Ham Football.

The Irons’ source reported on X (28 July) that there has been no confirmation from the London Stadium so far regarding the English striker’s arrival.
Newcastle and Leeds United tabled similar deals for the veteran centre-forward, but it appears Sullivan has won the race for his signature.
Potter needs more than Wilson transfer at London Stadium
Wilson’s injury record at Newcastle won’t be an encouraging sign for the supporters in E20.
Niclas Fullkrug had similar issues at the London Stadium last season, but it doesn’t look like the Hammers have learned their lesson.
Potter will definitely be fighting for his job at the Irons in the upcoming campaign and arguably needs more quality in his team.
West Ham lost to Manchester United 2-1 in the Premier League Summer Series at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday, highlighting the need for reinforcements this summer.
The East London club’s shortcomings in midfield and defence should be addressed before the end of August.
Mohammed Kudus’ departure has left a void up front which also needs to be filled, and fans will certainly hope for more than Wilson’s arrival before the end of August.
