Bournemouth’s England international striker Callum Wilson is in line for a bumper new deal to fend off interest from Everton and West Ham.

According to the Sun, the Cherries are so keen to keep hold of the rapid hitman that they are willing to give him £100,000-a-week to remain at the Vitality Stadium.

The report suggests that West Ham could have ramped up their interest in the former Coventry man now that it looks like Maxi Gomez will move to Valencia instead.

Meanwhile, Everton are also named as an interested club, after a season when Cenk Tosun failed to find any kind of form, meaning wideman Richarlison was often deployed up front.

Wilson has established himself as one of the best strikers outside the top six and now his injury problems look to have subsided, it’s no surprise he’s being targeted by clubs looking to push into the European spots.

Bournemouth look to bring out the best in him, but they must just watch that they don’t suffer another slump like they did in the second part of last season.

Otherwise, the prospect of a big-money move may become more appealing. If he does sign this bumper new deal, though, the asking price is only going to go up and it would be a major blow to the chasing pack.
