West Ham United striker Marko Arnautovic looks set to move to China in the near future.
Callum Wilson could be even better for West Ham United than Marko Arnatuovic was, if he is brought to the London Stadium from Bournemouth.
And while Arnautovic’s departure would be a blow for West Ham, Wilson could actually be more suited to them now.
Arnautovic’s game was based around his power and technical ability, but West Ham have enough providers in their squad now.
The Hammers have Samir Nasri, Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini, when he returns from injury, to pick from in attacking midfield spots.
The addition of a striker who plays purely on the last line of defence could therefore suit Manuel Pellegrini’s side, and that is exactly what Wilson loves to do.
The England international possesses great pace, and he has the ability to get in behind and stretch defences more effectively than Arnautovic.
With West Ham now owning one of the most creative midfield line-ups in the Premier League, Wilson’s attributes could be ideal for their team.
And West Ham may actually find that Wilson turns out to be an upgrade on Arnautovic if he does arrive.
