West Ham United are staying tight-lipped on details of a potential one-year extension for Callum Wilson after the Telegraph claimed he had verbally agreed to a new deal.
Our club source insisted they would not comment on private deals with the club and players.
However, Claret and Hugh understand from a non-club source that any potential deal would be contingent on West Ham staying in the Premier League and avoiding relegation.
Wilson is expected to be rewarded for showing loyalty to West Ham by turning down multiple deals from other clubs who came calling in January.
Wilson is said to be a model professional, as Nuno told him he did not have permission to talk to other clubs during the winter transfer window.
The 34-year-old is currently on a lower basic of around £60,000 per week plus significant bonuses for being on the bench, appearances, starts, goals and assists.
Wilson has scored five important goals-so far- from twenty-four appearances for West Ham.
£60k a week? How on earth does he cope?
Like Latrell Sprewell of the NBA once famously quoted, “We makes lots of money but we spend lots of money.”
What a dilemma.
