It sounds like West Ham are making a concerted effort to try and sign AFCB's top scorer. The Sun has been the main source of rumour that Wilson could be on his way, but considering what is on offer at West Ham with perhaps a doubling of his salary is it a move Wilson should consider?
While Callum Wilson was quick to say that Ryan Fraser was going nowhere this summer, it may now be Fraser's turn to say he doesn't want their partnership to be broken up. But a serious rise in salary will be tempting to any player and the location of London offers a great deal, even if West Ham are not in European football next season. It is no surprise that the Hammers are keen to get hold of Wilson as they find him impossible to stop whenever the two teams meet. Wilson will be well aware of that and probably would not be keen on not getting the chance to put a few goals past West Ham next season.
If it had been a top six club coming in, I expect the AFCB fans would be a bit more worried about a deal, but West Ham are relying on Wilson being keen to raise his salary above all else and hope they have enough money to allow AFCB to talk to Wilson. I expect West Ham would have to offer significantly more to get a foot in the door for those talks.

| In demand AFCB's Callum Wilson. |
I very much believe it is a firstly a matter of whether AFCB are even remotely interested in letting their top striker go to a club that did not finish so far above them in the league last season. AFCB's aim will be to catch clubs like West Ham and not give them our best players to move further ahead. So I don't see a big incentive for AFCB as even £35-40m is not going to guarantee AFCB being able to bring in another striker that will score 13 or more goals next season and Coventry City would take a share of that figure.

He is West Ham's tormentor and it's excellent recognition of what he has done to their hopes of getting points in the games with AFCB. The priorities of Wilson will be to keep his England hopes going and to score as many goals as he can. Would he get better service at West Ham? All I know is that he would have a lot more pressure to score goals and how he would react to that is something only Wilson could answer. If he stays at AFCb one more year would he be in line for a bigger club?

spent a fair bit of time on the treatment table over last few years, not worth the money or the gamble, west ham should be looking for better than nicking players off lesser clubs
ReplyDelete...playing ambition, stay with us until a bigger club comes in?
ReplyDelete...financial ambition move and take the cash on offer?
Injury prone and way over-priced, let's hope he stays at Bournemouth (and does well for them).
ReplyDeleteIn this market i cant see us getting a better striker in. Better off getting Solanke up to scratch first.
ReplyDeleteIf he wants to leave he will leave westham bigger than Bournemouth
ReplyDeleteAnd I support neather
