Brentford have entered discussions with veteran striker Callum Wilson, who became a free agent when his West Ham United contract expired on June 30. The Bees are looking to add Premier League-proven firepower to their squad ahead of the new season, and Wilson, at 34, represents a low-risk, high-reward proposition for a club that has built its identity on shrewd recruitment.
Wilson scored 7 goals in 32 appearances during his single season at West Ham, numbers that tell the story of a striker who can still finish at the top level.
Wilson’s winding Premier League journey
Wilson left Newcastle United at the end of his contract and signed a one-year deal with West Ham in August 2025, a move designed to keep him in the Premier League after his time on Tyneside. West Ham apparently decided not to extend his contract, and Wilson now finds himself back on the open market.
