Callum Wilson is one of the names on Manchester United’s shopping list for next summer.
The 27 year old Bournemouth striker scored 15 goals for The Cherries in all competitions last season, and he has already found the net three times in the Premier League this campaign, including two on Sunday against a lacklustre Everton side.
Now the England forward, who has previously been linked with a move to Chelsea, is said to be one of a group of British players that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hoping to sign next summer, alongside the likes of Jadon Sancho, Leicester’s James Maddison, and Sean Longstaff from Newcastle United.
Wilson began his professional career with Coventry City, his home town club, before moving to Bournemouth in July 2014 for a fee of £4 million. He has since scored 61 goals in 154 appearances for the South Coast side, a figure that would have been higher had he not missed much of the 2015 – 2016 season with an ACL injury to his right knee.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
