According to a report by The Sun, Manchester United will have the opportunity to sign Callum Wilson in the summer transfer window, with intermediaries offering the veteran English striker to the Red Devils. Meanwhile, Everton and Leeds United are interested in the former Newcastle United centre-forward, who wants a pay-as-you-play deal amid his fitness issues.
Callum Wilson has endured a nightmare of a career in the last few years. While the Englishman has been prolific during his spells with Bournemouth and Newcastle United, fitness issues have blighted him for over half a decade. Nevertheless, those problems have not hampered his performances on the pitch.
The 33-year-old has 141 career goals while chipping in with 48 assists in nearly 400 appearances for Tamworth FC, Kettering Town, Coventry City, Bournemouth, and Newcastle United. However, Wilson has become a free agent after his contract with Newcastle United expired. The English striker has no shortage of suitors, with Everton and Leeds United vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
The former Newcastle United striker has been on Everton’s radar for several weeks. The Toffees are scouring the market for a new centre-forward this summer after losing Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a free agent. So, Wilson is a viable target for Everton, particularly since the veteran attacker wants a pay-as-you-play contract.
Meanwhile, Leeds United’s interest in Callum Wilson makes sense. The Whites are eager to bolster their offensive unit by signing a striker, even though Joel Piroe was instrumental in the West Yorkshire club’s EFL Championship title-winning campaign. So, Wilson is an attractive option due to his extensive Premier League experience.
Meanwhile, intermediaries have offered the former Newcastle United striker to Manchester United. The Red Devils also have the opportunity to sign Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy and ex-Everton centre-forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin. However, it is unclear if Manchester United will take up the chance to seal a Bosman move for the 33-year-old Englishman.
Everton and Leeds United should be the front-runners to sign Wilson as he looks to remain in the Premier League after leaving Newcastle United. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the veteran English striker.
