West Ham<\/a> are close to an agreement with striker Callum Wilson to terminate his contract at the club.<\/p>\n

Wilson joined West Ham<\/a> on a free transfer in the summer<\/a> and has scored four goals in 18 appearances.<\/p>\n

But the Englishman’s first-team opportunities are set to become limited following the arrival of forwards Pablo Felipe<\/a> and Taty Castellanos<\/a> this month.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old wants to continue playing regular first-team football and is not keen on accepting a peripheral role.<\/p>\n

And the expectation is that Wilson will leave the Hammers, with sources confirming that talks to release him from the remaining six months of his contract are now being finalised.<\/p>\n

Hammers boss Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed the talks on Monday, saying: “Me and Callum we had a lot of conversations, just 10 minutes ago we were speaking about that situation.<\/p>\n

“Two strikers have joined, correct. I personally decided these strikers have joined. Callum is a very experienced man, he’s been in the game for so much time, he knows that his position has changed.<\/p>\n

“We were honest with each other. Yes, your position has changed, but you are still a player for the club and we still maybe need him and he should help us because he joined us.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"West Ham are close to an agreement with striker Callum Wilson to terminate his contract at the club.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230640,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-230639","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
