Newcastle United are all set to receive multiple bids for their veteran English striker Callum Wilson, who is recovering from a back injury.
According to a report from Football Insider, Newcastle United are set to receive offers for the services of Callum Wilson when the window reopens in January. The Magpies were keen on offloading the English striker during the summer before an injury blow derailed their plans. With his contract running out, the Tyneside outfit want to cash in on him in the winter.
Wilson made a name for himself thanks to his consistent performances at Bournemouth. After a six-year-long spell with the Cherries, he ended up making the move to Newcastle in the summer of 2020. During his time at the Tyneside club, he has featured in a total of 108 matches and contributed towards 59 goals.
The 32-year-old averaged a goal even 109th minute in the Premier League last season and he still seems to have a few years left in him. But, he is unlikely to continue at Newcastle United. The Englishman is not an important part of Eddie Howe’s plans and with his contract running out in the summer of 2025, they want to cash in on him.
The Tyneside club were ready to negotiate his departure during the summer, and there was interest in his services from Saudi Pro League clubs. But, a potential move collapsed as he picked up an injury. Wilson is currently nursing his injury, but his future remains a big talking point.
Newcastle United want to offload Wilson, Fulham keen
With Callum Wilson’s contract running out in less than 10 months, Newcastle United do not want to lose out on the £46,000-a-week forward for free. They are ready to negotiate his departure in January and as per the report, multiple top clubs are willing to offer him a new long-term deal despite the fact that he will be 33 in February and doesn’t have the best of injury records.
Clubs from the Middle East could return for his services. Apart from that, English clubs are interested in Wilson’s services. Fulham are one of the clubs who are keen on signing the veteran striker as they look to add more experience to their attack.
The Newcastle United forward has a proven track record in the top flight and could surely help the Cottagers. While there is no shortage of interest in his services, Wilson will have to prove his fitness ahead of the winter window if he wants to secure a new long-term deal amid his links with Fulham and other clubs.
