The England cap is locked in talks over ripping up his West Ham contract after interest from the Hoops
Callum Wilson appears to have dropped a major clue over his West Ham exit amid interest from Celtic.
Wilson is one of names who has been heavily linked with a switch to Glasgow’s east end as the club scramble for a new striker this month. The Hoops ramped up the potential move on Thursday as Celtic made contact with 33-year-old’s representatives in order to evaluate his interest in a move to Glasgow’s East End and the timeline of his Hammers’ exit.
Wilson is expected to become a free agent in the coming days as he prepares to rip up his contract with the relegation-threatened Premier League side with Everton and Sevilla also waiting in the wings when he becomes a free agent. But the nine-time England cap appears to have hinted that a deal is not imminent.
Going into build-up to Saturday’s game at Tottenham, Wilson posted photos of himself in training at Rush Green on his Instagram story. It appears that the player remains involved with the London club as it stands.
Boss Nuno was coy when asked about the player’s status ahead of the Spurs clash, stating: “We are working on ins and outs. I feel that we need to rebalance our squad and bring in more options for some positions and also find the best solutions for the players that are not having minutes, to go and proceed with their careers.
The Hoops are also said to have enquired about Basel star Philip Otele. Amid interest from several clubs, the winger he’s training separately from the squad in Basel to minimise the risk of injury should he transfer.
Basel sporting director Daniel Stucki admits that he believes the 26-year-old will leave the club this month – after the collapse of a switch to Russia in the summer.
He told BZ: “I expect there will also be changes on the wings, especially since we want to streamline the squad during the winter transfer window.
“The goal is for everyone to know their role and have opportunities for playing time.
“We anticipated Otele’s departure back in the summer, which ultimately didn’t materialiSe. With the signing of Jeremy Agbonifo, we foreseee a potential departure in the winter.
There are many tentative inquiries for Otele. I expect things to pick up soon. We couldn’t let him go in the summer for political reasons.
