Coventry target Wilson as West Ham offer remains

Coventry City are targeting Callum Wilson, according to Football Insider, with former Coventry assistant manager Mick Brown saying he thinks a return to the club is likely.

The outlet says there is a belief that Wilson wants to remain in the Premier League. It also describes him as set to become a free agent, while reporting that West Ham have an offer on the table. His contractual outcome is therefore not settled by this account.

Brown's confidence is an opinion, not an agreement. No bid, formal negotiations or agreed terms with Coventry have been reported.
