West Ham United, Everton and Chelsea are reportedly interested in Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson.
Callum Wilson is a player in demand, with West Ham United, Everton and Chelsea reportedly interested in signing the Bournemouth striker in the January transfer window.
The Daily Star has credited Chelsea with interest in Wilson and has claimed that Bournemouth want as much as £75 million in transfer fees for the 26-year-old striker.
The same publication has reported that West Ham and Everton want the England international as well.
Former Arsenal and West Ham striker Ian Wright has given his take on the reported price-tag of Wilson, and has suggested that the striker is worth over £60 million.
Wright said on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 live on Monday evening (7:53pm, January 21, 2019): “With Callum Wilson, when people turn their eyebrows up and jaws drop when they mention figures around Callum Wilson, why shouldn’t Callum Wilson cost in excess of £60 million? Just because he is at Bournemouth and he has come through the leagues?”
Worth £75 million?
Wilson is playing well at the moment and is one of the best players at Bournemouth, but it is hard to justify that the Englishman is worth £75 million.
The striker has scored 10 goals and provided five assists in 20 Premier League starts for Bournemouth so far this season, but during the 2017-18 campaign he found the net just eight times in 28 league fixtures and in 2016-17 he scored only six times in 20 league games, according to WhoScored.
True, there have been major injury concerns for Wilson in recent years, but the striker has yet to prove that he can score goals regularly at the highest level to have a price-tag of £75m.
