West Ham striker Callum Wilson agrees new one-year contract extension
West Ham striker Callum Wilson has agreed a new one-year contract extension with the club, securing his future at London Stadium for the 2026-27 campaign.
The agreement marks a significant turnaround for the forward, who had been in discussions to leave the Hammers earlier this year.
According to reports from The Telegraph, the deal has been finalised following his resurgence in the second half of the season.
Turnaround after January exit talks
Wilson’s future in east London had appeared uncertain as recently as the January transfer window.
The former Newcastle United marksman held talks regarding the potential termination of his contract just months after arriving at the club.
He attracted interest from other English sides and Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Shabab during a period where his game time was limited.
Growing importance to Hammers
The England international initially joined West Ham on a free transfer last August following his departure from St James’ Park.
While the experienced frontman struggled for minutes during the opening months of his tenure, he has since established himself as a key figure in the squad.
His increased influence on the pitch has now persuaded the club hierarchy to extend his stay in the capital beyond the current season.
