Over the years, Newcastle’s striker Callum Wilson has been a formidable opponent for West Ham, scoring 12 goals in 14 games against them – a remarkable record. However, the latest reports suggest that David Moyes, the manager of West Ham, is considering bringing the seasoned striker to the London Stadium during the January transfer window.

If the 31-year-old joins West Ham, at least he won’t be scoring against them anymore!

It’s noteworthy that Wilson spoke highly of West Ham last year, describing it as a club that everyone wants to play for. Now, it seems Moyes might give him the chance to prove whether his words were sincere.

According to a report from the Sun, West Ham is on “red alert” after learning that the former Bournemouth striker is available for transfer in January. However, competition from Manchester United and Chelsea adds complexity to the pursuit.

While signing Wilson could be a positive move for West Ham, the key considerations would be the transfer fee and the contract duration. A reasonable fee and a contract not exceeding two-and-a-half years would likely make the deal more appealing.

With eight goals in 20 games for Newcastle this season and a career tally of 138 goals in 364 appearances, Wilson is a proven striker and could represent a significant upgrade. However, the major concern lies in his injury record, having missed a substantial number of games due to injuries since the 2018/2019 season.

Currently sidelined with a calf problem, Wilson’s fitness raises questions about the potential risk West Ham would take by signing him. Despite the uncertainties, if injury-free, Wilson could be a valuable asset for West Ham, and it remains to be seen if the club’s owners are willing to take that chance.
