West Ham United are preparing an offer worth up to £25m for Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson after it was confirmed Diafra Sakho will miss up to six weeks with the thigh injury he sustained in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Manchester United. Wilson has emerged as Slaven Bilic’s main priority in the January transfer window after a poor start to the season that has left West Ham just one point clear of the relegation zone. However, Bournemouth are likely to be heavily resistant to any move for their top scorer having rejected a bid of around £15m from West Ham in May. He scored a hat-trick at Upton Park in his second Premier League match before being ruled out for the majority of last season with a serious knee injury. West Ham officials are believed to be in negotiations with Juventus over the structure of the deal for Zaza, who arrived in August on an initial loan.
