According to the British media Chronicle Evening News, Callum Wilson hopes to finalize the transfer to join West Ham.
After playing for Newcastle for five years, Wilson rejected Newcastle's salary-based contract, and coach Eddie Howe felt sorry for his departure.
However, Wilson, 33, has negotiated with West Ham and may transfer to the Hammers before the new Premier League season starts.
It was reported last year that West Ham was very interested in Wilson, but the deal never happened because the two clubs failed to agree on the transfer fee.
But now, as a free agent, Wilson may face his old teammates in a West Ham jersey.
On November 1, in the 10th round of the Premier League, Newcastle will play away against West Ham.
