Celtic Pursues Callum Wilson in West Ham Transfer Enquiry
Celtic has expressed interest in acquiring West Ham striker Callum Wilson during the current transfer window. The Scottish champions are assessing Wilson’s willingness to join their squad. His situation at West Ham appears uncertain, with the club and player reportedly in agreement that a departure is imminent.
Celtic’s Transfer Plans
The Hoops are actively searching for strikers, aiming to sign at least one, preferably two, during this transfer window. They have also inquired about other potential targets, notably:
- David Datro Fofana from Chelsea
- Franko Kovacevic from NK Celje
Wilson’s Future at West Ham
Callum Wilson, who scored his first goal for West Ham in an August match against Nottingham Forest, has not been part of the last two matchday squads. Following the January signings of strikers Taty Castellanos and Pablo, his position within the team has shifted.
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo indicated earlier this month that Wilson is no longer in his plans for the season. He stated, “I personally decided that these strikers have joined,” confirming that Wilson’s role has changed significantly since he joined the team.
Statistics and Background
Wilson joined West Ham after leaving Newcastle, signing a contract that included various incentives. In his brief stint, he has made 18 appearances and netted four goals across all competitions. However, with only five months at the club, his future looks uncertain.
As Celtic continues its pursuit of Callum Wilson, the outcome of this transfer could reshape both his career and the dynamics of the Hoops’ attacking lineup in the upcoming season.
