LONDON (AP) — Former England striker Callum Wilson ended a five-year stint at Newcastle when he signed for Premier League rival West Ham on Saturday.
The 33-year-old Wilson, who has penned a one-year contract at West Ham, was a free agent after being unable to agree a new deal at Newcastle.
Wilson spent six seasons at Bournemouth before joining Newcastle in September 2020.
He said: “I’m excited to be joining a massive football club like West Ham. A club that shares a similar passion to mine, hard work, dedication…I’m glad to be a part of it.”
Wilson hit 49 goals in 130 appearances across all competitions for Newcastle. He also scored twice in nine matches for England between 2018 and 2023.
“He is a proven, experienced Premier League striker, with a great work ethic and a fantastic goal-scoring record,” said West Ham manager Graham Potter. “He also has excellent character and personality, which is such an important factor, and something that we place a big emphasis on with our player recruitment.”
West Ham begins the Premier League season away at promoted Sunderland on Aug. 16.
