Brentford is nearing an agreement to bring experienced striker Callum Wilson into their ranks, with the former England international poised to sign a 12-month deal, as reported by Softfootball.
Wilson’s expected addition comes on the heels of Brentford’s recent signing of winger Jaidon Anthony from Burnley, as the club seeks to enhance its squad ahead of the new season in the Premier League.
The 34-year-old has been a free agent since departing West Ham United at the conclusion of the last season and is now engaged in advanced negotiations for his transfer to west London, with an agreement anticipated to be finalized within this week.
Bringing Wilson on board would inject significant Premier League experience into Brentford’s offensive lineup. He has previously played for Bournemouth, Newcastle United, and West Ham, in addition to earning nine caps for England and participating in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The experienced forward is expected to challenge Brazilian striker Igor Thiago, who remains an integral part of Brentford’s plans despite rumors regarding a potential high-value transfer this summer.
Additionally, this deal would potentially allow the promising 19-year-old Belgian forward Kaye Furo to secure a loan move, enabling him to gain regular first-team experience during the 2026/27 season.
