Overview
- Callum Wilson confirmed he will leave West Ham after his contract expired following the club's relegation and is available as a free agent, a fact he signalled on his own social media.
- The Athletic reports Brentford have opened negotiations to sign Wilson but talks are ongoing and no transfer has been announced.
- Football Insider says Coventry City have also submitted an offer for Wilson, showing there is competition within the Premier League for his services.
- Wilson scored seven league goals last season and has 95 Premier League goals in 271 appearances; at 34 he has said he wants to prolong his top‑flight career rather than retire.
- If Brentford complete a deal they may loan 19‑year‑old Kaye Furo to secure his game time, and West Ham face criticism from fans and commentators who say Wilson was underused last season.
