“West Ham’s SHOCKING Move to Sign 88-Goal Premier League BEAST Who DESTROYS Them Every Time!”
As Graham Potter prepares for his first full campaign in charge, one glaring issue stands out — West Ham’s attacking line is in urgent need of reinforcements.
The departure of Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham dealt a heavy blow.
Not only did the Hammers lose a game-changing talent, but seeing him move to a Premier League rival added salt to the wound.
With Kudus gone, West Ham are left without that spark of creativity and flair that could tilt a match in their favour.
Their forward options are looking worryingly thin. Evan Ferguson departed quietly after an unremarkable loan spell, Michail Antonio is clearly in the final stretch of his career — further hampered by his recent car accident — and Niclas Füllkrug failed to make any notable impact.
At the moment, Jarrod Bowen is the only consistent attacking force in the squad.
If Potter is to push West Ham forward, addressing the striker situation is not just important — it’s absolutely vital.
Fortunately, the club appears to be taking steps in the right direction, with reports linking them to a proven Premier League name.
West Ham in Talks with Free Agent Callum Wilson
According to reports cited by FourFourTwo, West Ham are in negotiations with former Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson, who is currently available as a free agent.
Wilson recently brought his five-year spell at St. James’ Park to an end after declining a contract heavily weighted with performance incentives — likely a pay-as-you-play arrangement — in favour of more stability and regular playing time.
Last season, the 33-year-old featured 18 times in the Premier League without scoring, as Alexander Isak firmly established himself as Newcastle’s top striker with 27 goals in all competitions.
Despite a goalless campaign in 2024/25, Wilson’s overall Premier League record is respectable, with 88 goals in 239 appearances.
Interestingly, he has a remarkable record against West Ham specifically — 12 goals in 16 matches, more than against any other club.
Now in discussions with the Hammers, Wilson could join on a short-term deal.
While his age and injury history are considerations, his experience and knack for scoring — particularly against West Ham — could make him a clever, low-risk signing for Potter’s side.
