"Wilson was in advanced discussions with the club over releasing him from his contract that expires in the summer. But a leading Hammers official has stepped in to end those discussions, with Wilson now set to stay at the London Stadium until the end of the season. The development comes after Wilson scored a last minute winner in the London derby versus Tottenham on Saturday."
"Callum is a very experienced man, he's been in the game for so much time, he knows that his position has changed. We were honest with each other. Yes, your position has changed, but you are still a player for the club and we still maybe need him and he should help us because he joined us."
Callum Wilson entered advanced talks to be released from his West Ham contract that expires in the summer. A leading club official has halted those termination discussions, and Wilson is expected to remain at the London Stadium until season end. Wilson scored a last minute winner in the London derby against Tottenham and has five goals in 19 appearances since joining on a free transfer. The arrival of Pablo Felipe and Tati Castellanos had threatened to limit his first-team opportunities. The club judged it self-defeating to let him leave while desperately needing goals in their fight to stay in the Premier League.
