“Home” | New signing Wilson with message to Hammers fans | OneFootball

Callum Wilson is eager to change the minds of many West Ham fans following his controversial move to east London.

The former Newcastle striker has completed his free transfer, which has many fans angered, especially with the feeling that it was a deal driven by David Sullivan rather than Graham Potter.

Wilson though is keen to turn those doubts within many fans minds, with the player speaking to the clubs Official Website regarding the move.

“East London is now going to be home which I’m happy about, and yeah there were obviously opportunities to go elsewhere, but I feel there’s a wrong that I need to make right with the West Ham fans especially, and I’m looking forward to getting in front of them at the London Stadium,” said Wilson.

“I’m extremely excited, there’s such talent within the squad and it’s got some amazing players. And obviously Graham’s come in now, he’s making everybody a team, all working in the same direction to achieve the goal which is to be finishing in the high places in the league and it’s what the fans deserve, what the team deserve and it’s what the squad quality deserves also.”

“I’m grateful for the opportunity, it’s such a talented squad like I mentioned here and I think this year it will be a successful season.

Obviously what’s gone on before is gone, it’s in the past, it’s ultimately about the badge on the front of the shirt, not the name and the number on the back so, for me, judge me week in week out when I’m giving 110% for the team.”
