Newcastle had boosted their game by lodging a £20 million bid for Bournemouth striker, Callum Wilson. Tottenham, Fulham, West Ham, Everton, and Manchester United have all previously been linked. Albeit Aston Villa reportedly has a £15million for England International rejected by Bournemouth on Friday. Sky Sports reported that Newcastle has offered £20million for Wilson, and are now eagerly waiting on a response from Bournemouth. Newcastle has further stepped up their transfer activity by bidding £13.75 Million on Jamal Lewis. And, he happily accepted their offer on Saturday morning.
Bournemouth may be interested in Matt Ritchie from Newcastle in a separate deal, but wages may be an issue.
