Callum Wilson is having quite the season.
After using the whole of last term to really recover from the double cruciate injuries that set his career back by such a long way, the forward is really showing his quality this term in a strong Bournemouth team.
He’s racked up 7 goals for the Cherries this term, and last night added his first for England – on his debut no less.
"His journey has finished but mine is just starting"
Callum Wilson is eager to show more after netting his first @England goal on his debut v USA after a pep talk from @WayneRooney.

A lot of Chelsea fans have been sniffy about the rumours that we’re interested in the new England star, for the usual reasons.
Fans want exciting, exotic foreign talent, they want young Argentines signed from Palermo, not solid hard-working forwards from Coventry. When you consider that Wilson is a proven goalscorer in the top flight, and one whose value is rated at just £15m by TransferMarkt (we’d have to pay double that in reality, but the point stands), he looks like an increasingly strong option.
Home-grown goalscorers don’t come along often, and we’re absolutely desperate for a poacher now. Could the least glamorous option also be the best one in this case?
