Wilson reportedly undergoes Brentford medical

Callum Wilson underwent a Brentford medical ahead of his eventual free transfer, according to Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas, as cited by West Ham Zone.

Wilson was already a free agent after his West Ham contract expired. The reported medical was the step beyond talks, with the initial accounts not establishing agreed terms or a completed move.

Brentford later announced the signing. That completion is recorded separately in the next Update.
