Transfer rumours: Callum Wilson to Atletico Madrid, Wilfried Gnonto to West Ham United, Mason Holgate to Sheffield United

Atletico Madrid have reportedly failed in their bid to sign Callum Wilson on loan from Newcastle United.The 31-year-old has eight goals and one assist in 20 appearances for the Magpies in 2023-24, including seven in the Premier League.According to the Daily Mail, Atletico asked Newcastle to take the experienced forward on loan, but the Magpies quickly rejected the offer..

The report claims a permanent sale is not out of the question as Newcastle’s Financial Fair Play difficulties leave them in a vulnerable position.Wilson, currently suffering from a calf problem, is believed to be set for a move to the Wanda Metropolitano.The experienced striker has just 18 months left on his contract at St Jamesand#039; Parked and reportedly likely to leave in the summer if he doesn’t leave before the winter deadline..

Premier League relegated West Ham United are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Leeds United striker Wilfried Gnonto before the end of the January transfer window.The 20-year-old handed in a transfer request at Elland Road last summer, but Leeds refused to accept his departure.Gnonto has struggled to make his mark in championship gear this season.

In all competitions, he managed just one goal and one goal in 23 matches.According to Italian journalist Matteo Moretti, the striker is trying to force a move away from Leeds before the winter transfer window closes.West Ham are said to be favorites for the player, who has five goals and five assists in 51 appearances for his current team in all competitions..

Meanwhile, Sheffield United’s hopes of signing Everton defender Mason Holgate on loan for the second half of the 2023-24 season have reportedly suffered a major blow.The 27-year-old is currently on loan at Southampton and has made six appearances for the Saints this season.

According to PA, it was agreed that Holgate’s time in the Championship would end so he could join Sheffield United on loan for the rest of the season.However, the report claims the deal has now collapsed after Sheffield United were told late in the negotiations that Everton would demand a £250,000 loan payment.The Blades are said to be willing to pay Holgate and#039; salary but not ready to pay the fee.The defender has reportedly traveled to Sheffield United for a medical and there is still hope that the deal can be revived before the winter window closes..
