When I was watching Callum Wilson hit his rocket volley past Fabianski last weekend, I was quick to grab my sons and enjoy the moment with them, jumping up and down at the sheer velocity of the shot! I was delighting in the moment and with the knowledge that Callum Wilson was moving up the ranks in terms of his finishing ability. A few years ago I'm not certain that Wilson would have even gone to hit a shot from outside the box as well as that as a dipping volley, let alone shape up so well that the goal made everyone gasp in awe at the strike.
Callum's quality is there for all to see now. He glided another excellent effort against the post against West Ham in the second half that could have raised his stock even higher had it gone in. But while West Ham and Chelsea are said to be looking under every stone to gather the money to make Bournemouth a substantial offer for the striker, it is pleasing for Bournemouth supporters just to stop and reflect a little on their club now having the most wanted striker probably in Europe. It means that Wilson's future is whatever he wants it to be, and Bournemouth can be satisfied that even if they do have to sell Callum at some point they will be very well compensated.
If Eddie Howe can do this to Wilson's game, we have to believe that he can do something similar to Dominic Solanke and Lys Mousset, if they have the ability within themselves to become great strikers. These players don't necessarily evolve every time, but at least we know Eddie Howe can make it work for some strikers and Wilson is hopefully just one of many off the Bournemouth conveyor belt that go on to be top-class strikers for the club on Howe's watch.

Lys Mousset has been linked with Galatasary.

| Callum is in a great place but it's important he stays injury-free. |
Callum is in the mood to score goals. Everyone is talking about him. He has an England cap in his pocket and with Harry Kane injured, he could be the main man for England's next international. Both Gareth Southgate and Eddie Howe will be sweating though on the players knee concerns as he limped off against West Ham. The man has been through an awful lot t get his game back to its peak, and he seems to forever be in the repair garage which is the only thing that is likely to halt his progress.
