Wilson is ‘not for sale’

- By Alex Crook

EDDIE HOWE has issued a hands-off warning to Chelsea over his striker Callum Wilson. The Blues are confident of completing a £30million deal next month for Bournemout­h’s England internatio­nal, who is set to return from a hamstring injury at Wolves today.

VBut Cherries manager Howe said: “Callum is focusing on his football and we are not anticipati­ng losing any players in January we don’t want to.

“He seems very happy, he has a spring in his step, he is buzzing around the training ground and there is a very good feel about him.”

Wilson, 26, has scored 47 goals in 121 league games since joining from Coventry in 2014 for a bargain price of £3m.

Howe added: “The fee at the time was discussed as a lot of money but when you compare it to fees now it looks a snip, doesn’t it?”
