Callum Wilson Joins West Ham United on a One-Year Deal
Callum Wilson, the experienced Premier League striker, has joined West Ham United on a free transfer after failing to agree on a new contract with Newcastle United. The announcement was made by West Ham United on Saturday.
Wilson, who turns 33 this year, brings a wealth of experience and a fantastic goalscoring record to the London club. He has registered 111 direct goal involvements in 239 Premier League appearances across his spells with AFC Bournemouth, Newcastle United, and Coventry City.
During his time at Newcastle United, Wilson scored 49 goals in 130 appearances, making him the third-highest Premier League scorer for the club. In the 2022-23 season, he set a career-best by scoring 18 goals in the Premier League. However, due to injuries, he only managed to play in 18 league games last season.
West Ham United places a big emphasis on personality in their player recruitment, and Wilson's character and work ethic were highlighted as significant factors in their decision to sign him. The club's coach, Graham Potter, described Wilson as a "proven, experienced Premier League striker."
Wilson expressed his excitement about joining West Ham United, mentioning that the club shares a similar passion for hard work, dedication, and success. He said, "I'm delighted to have joined West Ham United. The club has a great history and a passionate fanbase, and I can't wait to get started."
Wilson's goalscoring record was also a crucial factor in West Ham United's decision to sign him. Across all clubs at the top-flight level, Wilson has maintained a record of goal involvement roughly every 143 minutes played in the Premier League. This consistency and reliability in front of goal are expected to add a new dimension to West Ham United's attack.
Before joining West Ham United, Wilson represented England at the World Cup in Qatar during the 2022-23 season and has played nine times for England, scoring twice. He will be hoping to continue his international career and help West Ham United challenge for honours in the upcoming season.
Wilson's signing is a significant boost for West Ham United, and fans are eagerly awaiting his debut. With his goalscoring prowess and work ethic, Wilson is expected to play a crucial role in West Ham United's attack in the 2023-24 season.
