Newcastle United have had a £20m bid accepted for Bournemouth’s England striker Callum Wilson.
Aston Villa have withdrawn a greater bid of £21m, with Wilson preferring a switch to St James’ Park.
The 28-year-old, who has obtained four England caps, made 184 appearances for the Cherries and scored 67 aims, having joined from Coventry in 2014.
Newcastle supervisor Steve Bruce must reunite Wilson alongside together with his former Cherries team-mate Ryan Fraser.
Scotland winger Fraser is close to ending a free swap to St James’ Park.
Wilson has one England goal to his determine – scored on his debut in opposition to the US in November 2018 – and obtained his most recent worldwide cap throughout the 6-Zero win over Bulgaria in Sofia in October 2019.
The striker is about to be the latest high-profile departure from Bournemouth following their relegation from the Premier League in July, with Nathan Ake transferring to Manchester Metropolis in a £41m deal and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale signed by Sheffield United for £18.5m.
