Despite interest in Callum Wilson, West Ham United has reportedly launched the first method to sign Serie A, surpassing former Newcastle United last season.
West Ham signs Wilson in negotiations
After losing Michail Antonio and Danny Ins earlier this summer, West Ham always needs to turn to the transfer market to get the offensive increase ahead of the next season. Despite their patience with the method, it seems that they are finally trying to solve the biggest problem with Graham Potter.
Hammers will report that after the talks signed with Wilson, Hammers will hope to welcome the veteran free agent, who does not need to tell where the back of the net is. But that’s not to say whether Wilson arrives will not ask the mark. Although he is clinical, he can score goals that players need to enter the court, which is the biggest problem at the age of 33.

In the past two seasons alone, Wilson has missed an astonishing 57 games due to illness or injury. At the age of 33, these problems seemed impossible to disappear suddenly with the move to the London Stadium.
The former Newcastle man is a proven Premier League scorer, but it must be mentioned that he is also a vulnerable player and West Ham is unable to find a striker in his second season run.

West Ham needed offensive reinforcements after Mohammed Kudus moved to Tottenham, so it felt like a “unpredictable” £30million.
Instead, those at London Stadium should turn their eyes to career candidates and bring a box to goal and reliability – a star will certainly do that.
West Ham launch method signs Piccoli
According to Sport Visiest’s delivery, West Ham has now launched a way to sign Roberto Piccoli and insists on asking about sealing his signature this summer.
The Cagliari striker is reportedly worth about €30 million (£25 million), which will force West Ham to splash cash to welcome the Italians. But, as Hammer finally seeks a solution to the striker’s problem, he’s likely worth every penny.

After comparison, what can be emphasized again is Wilson’s lack of usability. Last season managed only 370 minutes – about four games – the forward only scored one goal. Meanwhile, Piccoli found the back of the net 10 times in Serie A after 3,127 minutes of the game.
West Ham’s only concern should be the 24-year-old’s underperformance, with his expected total of 12 goals, but that could improve with further experience.
On paper, even for £26m, Piccoli stands out, a choice West Ham should prioritize Wilson this summer.
