Aston Villa is keen on enhancing their forward line, and their sights are set on Callum Wilson, according to reports from GMS.
Wilson recently signed a one-year contract with West Ham United and has returned to full fitness. At 33, his veteran experience could be valuable to Aston Villa.
Potential Move for Wilson
He has found it challenging to secure a regular starting position at West Ham, raising questions about whether the club would approve his potential transfer. With the Hammers struggling in attack, allowing Wilson to depart in January might not be in their best interest.
Additionally, Ollie Watkins’ performance has dipped, with only three goals in the current Premier League season. It’s no wonder Aston Villa is pursuing Wilson, while also exploring other options as well.
Aston Villa’s Interest in Wilson
Wilson might find the prospect of joining Aston Villa appealing. The club has a rich history, a strong squad, and the potential for European football under a competent manager. Securing his transfer from West Ham could prove to be a smart move for Villa.
Since his arrival at West Ham, Wilson has not played a pivotal role, making it sensible for the London club to consider selling. He may also be seeking a new beginning in his career.
As the transfer window draws near, the developments on this front will be closely watched.
