Celtic Inquire About Signing West Ham Striker Callum Wilson

Celtic Football Club has expressed interest in West Ham striker Callum Wilson. The Scottish champions are reportedly assessing his willingness to make a move during this transfer window.

Celtic Targets West Ham Striker Callum Wilson

Wilson, who is 33 years old, has attracted attention not only from Celtic but also from various clubs in England and Saudi Arabia. His current situation at West Ham has prompted discussions about a potential exit.

Recent Developments at West Ham

  • Wilson scored his first goal for West Ham in August against Nottingham Forest.
  • He has not been included in the team’s last two matchday squads.
  • West Ham recently signed strikers Taty Castellanos and Pablo, reconfiguring their attacking lineup.

In light of these changes, West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo has conveyed to Wilson that his role with the team has diminished. On January 5, Nuno stated their discussions were candid, acknowledging the shifts within the squad.

Wilson’s Time at West Ham

Callum Wilson joined West Ham as a free agent after leaving Newcastle, signing a contract that featured multiple incentives. In his time at the club, he has made 18 appearances, netting four goals.

Celtic’s Search for Strikers

The Hoops are keen on bolstering their attacking options, aiming to acquire at least one, ideally two, strikers. They have already initiated inquiries into several potential candidates, including:

  • David Datro Fofana from Chelsea
  • Franko Kovacevic from NK Celje

As the transfer window progresses, Wilson’s future remains uncertain, with Celtic interested in possibly securing his services for the remainder of the season.
