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.
