According to a recent report by the Mirror, Chelsea are interested in securing the signature of Callum Wilson from Bournemouth during this January transfer window. The same report has also revealed that the West London outfit are planning a mid-season revamp of their squad at Stamford Bridge after splashing £58m for Borussia Dortmund’s Chrisitan Pulisic earlier this month.
Wilson has been a breath of fresh air for the Cherries in the Premier League this season and has also put in some match-winning displays at the Vitality Stadium during the course of this campaign.
The secret behind his recent productivity in front of goal has been the support he has received from the likes of Ryan Fraser, Josh King and David Brooks who have all been so impressive under Eddie Howe’s guidance this season.
The Coventry-born forward has featured in 27 matches for Bournemouth this term, finding the back of the net on ten occasions while grabbing five assists across all competitions. He has even managed to make his competitive debut for the England national team in a game against the United States in which he scored back in November last year.
Wilson has a lot of pace to burn up top and is quite confident while running with the ball at his feet. He can score goals with both feet and has a knack for being at the right place at the right time. His form in front of the opposition goal this season has been sensational, to say the least, which is one of the main reasons why Bournemouth currently find themselves sitting in the 12th place of the league table, a massive 11 points above the relegation zone.
The addition of a proven goal-scorer remains a priority for Chelsea during this winter transfer period so Sarri should consider bringing Wilson to Stamford Bridge this month to try and secure a top 4 spot at the end of this campaign.
His quickness and agility to lead the line coupled with the fact that Wilson is a proven goal-scorer are more than enough reasons for the Pensioners to opt for his services before they lose ground to the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United in the chase to secure a Champions League spot during the second half of this campaign.
