Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United will reportedly have to pay a premium price if they are to sign Callum Wilson this summer.

According to a report from The Daily Mail, the Bournemouth striker – valued at £30 million – will not be allowed to leave on the cheap by the Cherries, despite them tumbling into the Championship.

Wilson has been with the south coast outfit since 2014 after joining from hometown club Coventry City and has established himself as a firm favourite at the Vitality Stadium.

He has made a total of 187 appearances for the club and scored 67 goals.

With Bournemouth now back in the Championship, it has been expected that England international Wilson will be one of a few high profile casualties.

Tottenham have been named as potential suitors, while Newcastle are reported (Daily Mail) to be prioritising the 28-year-old.

But both may now struggle to sign the star.

TBR’s View – Tottenham and Newcastle to look elsewhere?

£30 million would be a lot to pay for a player who has just been relegated.

He’s also not had the best injury record over the years so would represent a bit of a risk.

If the price was closer to £20 million, Spurs and Newcastle should not be thinking twice.

But it seems Bournemouth might play hardball over Wilson, and £30 million might not represent good value in the current climate.
