    Key Takeaways:

  • Leeds and Burnley are both in talks with Callum Wilson
  • The 33-year-old striker is a free agent after leaving Newcastle
  • Wilson was a fan favourite but struggled with injuries

Callum Wilson is currently negotiating with both Leeds and Burnley, according to reports in the English media. The two clubs are in discussions to secure the services of the experienced striker, though the outcome remains difficult to predict. A resolution is expected soon, and there is a strong possibility that Wilson could return to Premier League action in the near future.

The 33-year-old left Newcastle this summer after his contract expired, with no talks held over a potential extension. Despite his departure, Wilson played a key role in Newcastle’s progress over the past two years. The former Bournemouth forward became a fan favourite, leaving supporters with plenty of memorable moments.

Injuries, however, prevented him from achieving even more in a black-and-white shirt. With age also becoming a factor, the former England international had to say goodbye to the Magpies and is now a free agent. Interest in Wilson remains high, and the next few days could determine where his career continues.
