Jacobs said that Celtic made an enquiry for Callum Wilson. He also stated that Al-Shabab were going to fly Wilson to Saudi Arabia about five days ago to show him their stadium and possibly start the formal process. The Saudi club was reportedly very confident that Wilson would become a free agent and would want the move. However, Jacobs reported that the expectation now is that he will stay at West Ham, adding that he thinks it was a really good decision by the club.

Callum Wilson is expected to receive offers from the Saudi Pro League this month amid talks to terminate his contract at West Ham United. According to reports, he could be heading to Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab, as well as other Pro League sides. There is also interest in the forward from the UAE. Talks are ongoing over his contract termination, and Wilson could travel to the Middle East next week. The 33-year-old has interest from the EPL but is planning to explore a foreign move. The Daily Telegraph said that Wilson will be allowed to leave West Ham this month due to the signings of strikers Pablo and Taty Castellanos for a combined £47 million. He will reportedly be allowed to travel to any potential clubs interested in him following West Ham's game against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Scottish Sun reports that Callum Wilson would be going to the Middle East, with Al-Shabab looking to offer him a deal. The Saudi Pro League side is reportedly in the leading position to sign the forward.

Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab have looked at Wilson in the past. According to GMS, Al-Shabab are more likely to pursue a transfer this winter if Wilson shows a desire to switch to Saudi.
