There had been interest from newly-promoted Leeds and Everton.
But according to The Athletic, Wilson has agreed to join West Ham.
SunSport revealed last week how the Hammers had opened talks to sign the former England international.
Wilson had also turned down a pay-as-you play deal at Newcastle, who decided against taking up an option to extend his contract this summer.
Newcastle decided against triggering their one-year option on the forward which would have kept him on the same wage of about £45,000-a-week.
The 33-year-old has long been admired at the London Stadium – has already completed a medical.
His new deal is heavily performance incentive-based.
Wilson scored 47 goals in 113 appearances for the Magpies, but has struggled with back and hamstring injuries during his time with the club.

Newcastle were rocked by the news that star man Alexander Isak is looking to leave the club this summer.
The Swede missed the club’s pre-season tour of Asia while champions Liverpool saw their opening of around £110million rejected.
But the Toon have launched a bid of close to £70m for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko in an effort to potentially replace Isak.
Meanwhile West Ham released both Danny Ings and Michail Antonio at the end of last season.
