Newcastle United fans are eagerly awaiting an announcement on Callum Wilson’s future.
The 33-year-old is out of contract at Newcastle United, but it was announced that he was in talks with the club over an extension. That Wilson update shocked Newcastle fans who were adamant that the striker was leaving.
An exit has felt inevitable, especially since Wilson appeared to wave goodbye to the Newcastle fans after the final game of the season against Everton.
As the Toon Army await official news on the £20million man’s future, another club could enter the conversation.
New Premier League club interested in Callum Wilson
Even if Newcastle do decide to let Wilson go, he could get the opportunity to remain in the Premier League.

According to the Telegraph, Burnley are looking to utilise the free agent market as they aim to sign a striker ahead of their return to the Premier League.
The Telegraph name Wilson as an option for Scott Parker’s side, alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jamie Vardy.

Newcastle have agreed personal terms with Trafford, who is eager to swap Turf Moor for St James’ Park. However, the current stumbling block is the price.
Negotiations with Burnley are continuing, while it was claimed by Fabrizio Romano on Monday that Newcastle are ‘closing in’ on signing Trafford. However, that suggestion currently feels wide of the mark.
