Newcastle United are reportedly ready to part ways with Callum Wilson in the summer transfer window, but Chelsea and Tottenham will not sign him.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Callum Wilson will likely leave Newcastle United in the summer transfer window. The Magpies are ready to part ways with the 31-year-old at the end of the 2023/24 season. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Tottenham have ruled out a move for the experienced striker.
The Rise and Rise of Callum Wilson
Callum Wilson has been one of the most dependable strikers in the Premier League for several years. The English international rose in prominence during his stint with Bournemouth before taking his performances to the next level at Newcastle United.
While fitness issues have plagued the experienced striker, he has remained prolific in the final third. The 31-year-old has amassed 46 goals and 11 assists in 104 appearances thus far for Newcastle United. But Wilson’s long-term future at the Tyneside club is uncertain after entering the final 18 months of his contract.
Such a situation has not gone unnoticed, with Manchester United among his prospective suitors. Several Premier League bigwigs were also keen on signing Callum Wilson in the winter transfer window, although a move did not materialise. Now, with less than 18 months left in his contract, he might soon play his last game for Newcastle United.
Set for a Summer Departure
The report claims that the Magpies are ready to part ways with the 31-year-old in the summer transfer window. With Wilson struggling with fitness issues this season, the decision is sensible, as Newcastle United can move on to a younger striker who can be a long-term solution in the final third at St. James’ Park.
Recent reports have linked Newcastle United with Ivan Toney. The Englishman can be a long-term replacement for his compatriot at St. James’ Park. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Tottenham have ruled out a summer move for the 31-year-old, who does not fit their project.
So, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for Callum Wilson. But his days at Newcastle United are seemingly numbered, with the Tyneside outfit ready to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
