Football Insider had previously reported that West Ham have an offer on the table. The new account says the two sides have now spoken, but does not report agreed terms or a decision.

Coventry City and Hull City are both interested in Wilson. For now, he has suitors and an expiring deal, but no agreed destination or extension.
