Several weeks ago, the telegraph.co.uk claimed Callum Wilson had agreed, and put pen and paper to a new deal at London Stadium after a successful ‘pay to play’ initial spell at West Ham.

However, as we reported in late March, no such contract had been signed. It appears the Telegraph may have been mistaken….And so to today: Much the same thing is reported with Hammers.news exclusive, claiming:

“West Ham stay tight-lipped as seriously strange Callum Wilson twist emerges”
