West Ham Set Sights on Venezuela Winger as Callum Wilson Decision Takes Shape.
A month into his debut season at the London Stadium, West Ham United's future of 33-year-old striker Callum Wilson appears increasingly unlikely. The Englishman had been simmering with discontent under manager Nuno Espírito Santo, prompting speculation about a move away from the Hammers five months after his arrival. However, with the club teetering on the precipice of relegation and desperately needing attacking reinforcements, West Ham are now intent on keeping their veteran frontman.
The arrival of winger Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe has provided a new dimension to West Ham's attack, but the 22-year-old Venezuelan international Keiber Lamadrid is set to offer further options for manager David Moyes. The young winger has made several appearances in Venezuela's top flight for Deportivo La Guaira and has already caught the eye of West Ham scouts.
With Lucas Paquetá's future at the club hanging precariously in the balance, it's possible that West Ham may be forced to rethink their stance on the Brazilian midfielder. The 26-year-old had rejected a €35m loan bid from Flamengo earlier this season, but with the summer transfer window looming large, the Ligue 1 side are growing increasingly impatient.
For now, however, West Ham seem determined to hold onto Wilson, who marked his return in Saturday's victory at Tottenham by scoring the winner as a late substitute. The decision could prove pivotal in determining the Hammers' season, with Moyes looking to keep his squad intact and build momentum for what promises to be an intense summer of transfer activity.
