West Ham United striker Callum Wilson is in talks to leave the London Stadium club during the ongoing winter transfer window, according to The Athletic.
The 33-year-old joined West Ham as a free agent last summer after his contract at Newcastle United ended.

Wilson has played 18 matches since joining the Hammers, weighing in with four goals. However, he wants to leave after
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo completed deals for striking duo Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos.
Niclas Fullkrug and Luis Guilherme have already left the London Stadium club in recent days, and Wilson could be the third forward to move on.
He has eight games so far this term but is likely to see less action following the arrivals of two new forwards.
Wilson wants to keep playing regularly and could move on if both parties agree to terminate his contract.
He signed a one-year deal with the Hammers, but the contract is incentive-based and moving on could be in the best interest of both parties.

Nuno is desperate to keep his side up after managing just two league wins since replacing Graham Potter last September.
Losing the quality and experience of Wilson could be a big blow, but West Ham could opt against bringing in a replacement if they allow him to leave.
They have two new strikers who are expected to hit the ground running, and the club could look to strengthen in other departments to boost their survival chances.
The Hammers return to Premier League action tomorrow night when they take on Nottingham Forest at home, and they need a response after their disappointing 3-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend.
More changes are expected at West Ham in the coming weeks, and Nuno will have no excuses going forward as the club have backed him this window.
