West Ham United have agreed a deal to sign Callum Wilson on a free transfer, according to David Ornstein.
The Hammers have been keen to strengthen their squad all summer and Graham Potter has so far been able to add El Hadji Malick Diouf and Kyle Walker-Peters to his full-back options.
But after allowing Michail Antonio and Danny Ings to leave the club at the end of their contracts this summer, a new striker has been eyed and now identified.

Medical already complete
Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson celebrates scoring a goal
Wilson, who has been described as 'prolific' for his spell at Newcastle United, recently left the Magpies after failing to agree a new contract at St James' Park.
West Ham have now swooped to seal an agreement with the former England international to take him to the London Stadium, and a one-year deal has been agreed between all parties. It's understood the contract is 'heavily incentive-based', likely due to the 33-year-old's age and injury history throughout his career.
Wilson has already completed a medical with the Irons and is set to become the newest addition to the squad, and will compete with Niclas Fullkrug and new young signing Callum Marshall for the starting striker role.
West Ham are stepping up their business in recent days to bolster their squad, and have also made a formal offer to sign goalkeeper John Victor from Botafogo to replace Lukasz Fabianski, who left at the end of his contract at the end of the season.
A new midfielder is also being targeted, with a bid made for Southampton star Mateus Fernandes, but it's believed that he would prefer a move abroad.
