Lamadrid plays in homeland and won first cap last year
Wilson, scorer of winner at Spurs, was in talks to leave
West Ham are close to signing the Venezuela winger Keiber Lamadrid and plan to keep Callum Wilson, who has been in talks to leave five months after joining.
Wilson scored West Ham’s winner at Tottenham on Saturday after coming on as a late substitute. The 33-year-old was understood to have grown dissatisfied with life under Nuno Espírito Santo and had been seeking a new challenge but the club, five points adrift of safety, intend to hold on to him.
Attacking reinforcements have arrived this month in Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe and Lamadrid is in line to offer another option. The 22-year-old, who made his Venezuela debut as a substitute in November in their most recent game, plays in his homeland for Deportivo La Guaira. Lamadrid has made most of his appearances on the left.
