Callum Wilson, 27, is now on Everton's radar, as they look to bolster their attacking options. Wilson was a target for Chelsea in the January window, but, after they opted for Gonzalo Higuian, Wilson is still at Bournemouth and has grabbed Everton's attention.

Wilson has been an impressive part of one of the suprises of the season, with Eddie Howe's men briefly in contention for a European place before a dip in form, which sees them lie in 12th in the league. Wilson signed for Bournemouth in 2014 from Coventry City for 3.7 million euros, but Bournemouth gave Chelsea a valuation of 45 million euros in January, meaning Everton will have to pay a similar fee for the English foward.

Wilson has 11 goals in 24 Premier League matches this season, and with Everton's attack not quite firing on all cylinders so far this season, Wilson could be a good signing for the club. According to 'TMW', Wilson is willing to leave Bournemouth, assuming he is offered the same minutes as he is currently.

Everton are also fighting to finish 7th, which will likely be the 3rd Europa League spot, which is thought to be a major attraction for Wilson, as he reaches the prime years in his career.
