  /  autty

West Ham have agreed a deal to sign striker Callum Wilson. 

The 33-year-old, who left Newcastle on the expiry of his contract at the end of June, will sign a one-year deal at the London Stadium.

Wilson spent five seasons at St James' Park and scored 49 goals in 130 matches for the Magpies, winning the EFL Cup with Eddie Howe's side last season.

However, Wilson had an injury-hit campaign last term and failed to score in any of his 18 Premier League outings for Newcastle.

West Ham make approach for Leicester's Hermansen

The Hammers are in the market for a goalkeeper after Lukasz Fabianski left when his contract expired in July.

Casper Ankergren is the new goalkeeping coach at West Ham and worked with Hermansen previously at Brondby.
