Qudus SalihuIn a move that has rocked the Premier League, Everton has reportedly reached a sensational agreement to sign veteran striker Callum Wilson. As confirmed by transfer authority Fabrizio Romano, the deal is effectively “done,” with the 33-year-old set to swap West Ham United for Goodison Park in what is being hailed as one of the most calculated and high-impact signings in the club’s recent history.
The news has left the Everton faithful completely stunned, not just by the caliber of the player, but by the clinical speed with which David Moyes and the Friedkin Group moved to secure the deal. Wilson, a proven Premier League marksman with over 250 appearances and nearly 100 goals in the top flight, is expected to provide the immediate clinical edge that has been missing from the Toffees’ frontline this season. Following weeks of speculation surrounding Youssef En-Nesyri, the pivot to Wilson—a player Moyes has long admired for his movement and leadership—is being seen as a masterclass in opportunistic recruitment.
Social media exploded following Romano’s trademark “Here We Go,” with fans expressing a mix of relief and euphoria. “Wilson is exactly what we need for the run-in,” one supporter shared. “A striker who knows the league inside out and doesn’t need time to adapt. This is massive business.” The financial structure of the deal is also receiving praise, as Everton reportedly took advantage of Wilson’s contract situation at West Ham to secure a short-term agreement that protects the club’s long-term stability while providing an elite-level boost.
With the medical already booked at Finch Farm, Wilson is poised to become the focal point of an Everton attack that is finally looking upward. As the club transitions toward its new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, landing a player of Wilson’s pedigree sends a clear signal of intent: the Toffees are no longer just surviving; they are building to compete. The official announcement is expected within the next 24 hours, cementing Wilson’s status as the man tasked with leading Everton’s charge up the table.
