Wilson Isidor ready to double wages as West Ham queue for transfer Wilson Isidor refuses to go away at West Ham United. As the Irons prepare to start their Championship season at Burnley on Sunday, transfers have finally stepped up. Joel Veltman kicked things off, with Manor Solomon and Arne Engels next to be signed at the London Stadium. Nuno Espirito Santo clearly wants a striker, too, and Isidor's name is front and centre of most conversations. That's despite Regis Le Bris strongly suggesting he will stay, but consistent football could win him over. Isidor will be behind Brian Brobbey at the Stadium of Light, yet he's set to make a significant decision on his future. Money talks for Wilson Isidor West Ham aren't the only club interested in the Haiti number nine. Having scored at the World Cup this summer, many fancied Isidor to secure a move away from the North East. Alan Nixon has now reported that Isidor is looking for a "massive" pay rise from Sunderland. The journalist states via Patreon that the striker is happy to stay, but wants a double-your-money contract, too. West Ham are said to be among the clubs queuing to sign him still, with Premier League newbies Hull and Ipswich. The Tigers have made the first move with a failed £10million bid, so it would cost way more than that to sign him. Isidor's future is still up in the air, as a replacement could see him quit before the September 1 deadline. Do West Ham really need a striker? As of now, the only striker that's left after relegation has been Callum Wilson. Now at Brentford, he hardly started in the Premier League anyway. Taty Castellanos could still light up the Championship, but there are small doubts over whether he will remain at West Ham past the deadline. That leaves Pablo as the only other striking option. If Nuno plays one up top, then those two could be enough as rotation options, but against Portsmouth, he started both. With those two likely needing a third option, Isidor could fit the bill. But even if he does sign for big money, will any of those three be happy mainly starting on the bench? Probably not.
