Wilson can be powerful, strong, fast, a nuisance for defenders — but only when he is fit, and history suggests it would be naive to expect him to be constantly available. As detailed below, his injury record is chequered, so expect his minutes to be managed.

West Ham have signed former Newcastle and Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson on a one-year contract. The 33-year-old free agent left Newcastle at the end of last season after failing to agree a new deal. The striker was limited to just 18 Premier League appearances last term and was stuck behind Alexander Isak in the pecking order.
