If recent media speculation is anything to go by, then Callum Wilson and Bournemouth both look set for a big payday this month.

Let’s start with the Sky Sports News report suggesting that the Bournemouth striker is being sought after by fellow Premier League side Chelsea, with a figure of £50million being bandied about.

The Daily Mail, meanwhile, thinks West Ham United could be keen on Wilson, with £35million being the starting price, while Bleacher Report goes as far as saying that the Cherries want £70million for the striker.

In League One, meanwhile, fans of one club are following proceedings very intently, because the 26-year-old is reported to have a sizeable sell-on clause as part of the deal which saw him change clubs back in 2014.

According to the Coventry Telegraph, Coventry City sold Wilson to Bournemouth for around £3million with a sell-on clause believed to be between 10-15 per cent.

Some quick maths shows that the Sky Blues could potentially – if all the reported figures are valid, of course – earn between £3.5million (10 per cent of £35million) and £10.5million (15 per cent of £70million).

The Coventry-born striker came through the club’s youth system and made 55 appearances for the Sky Blues before moving to the south coast in 2014.
