Brentford have moved to sign former England striker Callum Wilson on a 12‑month deal. The 34‑year‑old left West Ham after the whistle‑up from the Premier League and is in advanced talks; the paperwork should finalize this week.

Wilson brings Premier League experience from West Ham, Newcastle United and Bournemouth. He scored 7 goals in 32 appearances last season, earned 9 England caps, netting two goals, and played at the 2022 World Cup.

The signing gives Igor Thiago immediate competition for the starting striker spot. Despite rumors that £80m–£90m offers could tempt the club, the Boro have no plans to sell him. Wilson’s presence also frees up the squad for Kaye Furo (19), who can head out on loan next season.

With added depth and proven Premier League firepower, Brentford can push for higher league placement. Fans will see a more dangerous midfield‑to‑forward link, and the club will adapt its tactics for the upcoming campaign.
