Saints And Spurs Lead Queue To Sign Bournemouth Striker
Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur are allegedly in a queue of around 10 Premier League Clubs sniffing around AFC Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson.
The Cherries will now find out what being a small club in the Premier league means this summer when the so called big boys come after their players, of course Bournemouth will want to hold on to the bulk of their promotion winning squad and hopefully build on it, but they will find heads turned by offers of wages far in excess than they themselves will be able to afford.
Of course they could take the view that getting a big fee for Wilson is a risk worth taking if they reinvest the money wisely, one thing is for sure they are going to have to improve the squad drastically if they are to have any chance of staying up.
For his part 23 year old Wilson has been a big hit since signing from Coventry last summer and has 23 Championship goals this season and this has put him in the radar of around 10 Premier League clubs according to media reports with Saints and Spurs along with West Ham United leading the pack.
