Rumours have been circulating of late that Callum Wilson could leave Newcastle United this summer but a transfer insider thinks differently.
According to 90min, they report Wilson could leave St. James Park during the upcoming transfer window as he looks for regular first-team football.
The Englishman is fighting for a starting spot in Eddie Howe’s team with Alexander Isak but the 31-year-old has been in the starting 11 of late as he has been in tremendous form.
Despite the rumours, transfer insider Dean Jones recently told GIVEMESPORT that Wilson is unlikely to leave and may want to be part of the long-term project of Howe and PIF.
Jones said: “There have been a few whispers about Callum Wilson potentially being available this summer, and it is interesting to think about whether they would genuinely consider it.
“For Wilson as a player, I don’t think it would be a great decision to move on from him just yet. He has great self-belief. He has a good goalscoring record in this division, and I get the feeling he is very determined not to be one of the players discarded as this project ramps up at Newcastle.
“But we should also consider it from a business point of view because that’s when I can understand why it might happen. He’s got another year on his deal. He’s 31 and up there with the highest earners at the club. If they were to extend his stay, they would have to continue to pay him very well, and maybe that’s what makes them consider what to do here.”
