"Eddie Howe Admits Newcastle Considering Callum Wilson Sale to Address PSR Concerns"

Newcastle United faces a challenging decision regarding Callum Wilson, as manager Eddie Howe does not rule out the possibility of the striker being sold this summer.

While Howe ideally wishes to retain the England international, uncertainties loom over Wilson's future, especially as he returns from his latest injury ahead of the match against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

With Wilson having just one year left on his contract this summer, there is speculation of interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Europe, presenting Newcastle with a final opportunity to secure a decent transfer fee for him.

However, the dilemma lies in the cost of replacing Wilson, a reliable scorer in the Premier League with 46 goals in 104 appearances since his arrival from Bournemouth for £20 million in 2020.

Despite Wilson's quality, his injury proneness, resulting in extended absences from the pitch, makes Newcastle cautious about relying solely on him as backup to Alexander Isak.

Howe expressed his sentiments, acknowledging the challenge of replacing a player of Wilson's caliber while considering Financial Fair Play implications.

Wilson's fitness and consistency are crucial factors for Newcastle, with Howe emphasizing the importance of every player's commitment to the team's goals, including Wilson's desire to contribute positively.

Having been sidelined with various injuries this season, Wilson's availability has been limited, while Isak has excelled as the primary striker in his absence.

Nevertheless, Howe remains optimistic about Wilson's return, highlighting the striker's determination and belief in his ability to make a significant impact when fit and available for selection.
