Overview

  • Callum Wilson completed his medical and signed a free-agent deal at the London Stadium on August 2.
  • The 33-year-old joins on a one-year contract with pay tied to performance incentives.
  • Wilson left Newcastle United after his contract expired in June and declined a pay-as-you-play extension.
  • He scored 49 goals in 130 appearances for Newcastle since 2020 but failed to find the net in 18 league outings last season due to injuries.
  • The low-risk, short-term structure reflects West Ham’s strategy under profit and sustainability regulations.
