Can't blame Callum Wilson for wanting Premier League football

It has been reported that Callum Wilson has told other players in AFCB's squad that he must play Premier League football next season, if he is to ave any chance of making England's Euros team. I don't have a problem with that as he is right. He has given AFCB six years of his career and he s now 28. He is ready for a big move and he may well be more prolific in a better team.

Callum doesn't expect to be running out with AFCB team-mates again.

We have become used to seeing Callum Wilson's name on the starting sheet for AFCB. He is one of the rocks that Eddie Howe has built his team around and without him Bournemouth need to find a lot more goals from somewhere. Callum has shown that he is better than a Championship striker. He may not have had a great season in 2019-20, but he still topped the goal scorers chart for AFCB.

He has been unlucky in suffering a double cruciate knee injury at his time at Bournemouth, and he would have done even better had he not suffered those injuries. He has learned to play with what limitations his injuries have given hm and he has always wanted the best for AFCB.

It will be an important move for Callum who has a young family. He may not move again, but he has to think of himself now. It won't do him any good playing in the Championship. The sad point for fans is that AFCB probably won't get his true valuation and they won't get to say goodbye to him. We can see how he does though as his career progresses and we will see if he does do better when given more responsibility at a bigger club. I'd just like to thank Callum for the service he has given. I only hope that Bournemouth's next striker signing is as good as Callum has been.
