West Ham Given Green Light To Sign Proven Premier League Star For Bargain Price

West Ham are reportedly interested in trying to sign Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson.

England international Wilson is into the final 18 months of his contract at Newcastle, and the Magpies could be forced to consider offers of between £18m and £20m to help ease their concerns over breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules.

Some senior figures at WEST HAM believe they need to sign a new No.9 this window while Chelsea are also interested.

It’s a bargain price for a proven Premier League goalscorer, with the England international managing a record of 86 goals in 215 top flight appearances for Bournemouth and Newcastle.

The Magpies have already turned a loan swoop down for the 31-year-old from Atletico Madrid, while AC Milan have also shown interest this month.

But the Toon must sell before buying to remain within Financial Fair Play rules, and the centre-forward’s contract is up next summer.

And amid the speculation – his manager Eddie Howe has insisted all clubs could lose their best talent because of FFP.

He said: “[Wilson] is 100 per cent committed to Newcastle. We want two fit strikers and want to keep him, but obviously, some things are out of my control.”

He added: “It’s been a difficult window so far. It’s the first time since I’ve been manager that we’ve been linked with players leaving. That creates an unsettling dynamic.

“We want to keep our squad intact and keep our best players, but I’m also aware of the club side and FFP is affecting all clubs. We’re no different to any other club.”
