Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea on red alert for Newcastle forward
Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are monitoring Callum Wilson closely amidst reports Newcastle could sell the striker for just £18m in the final week of the transfer window, reports Standard Sport.
Wilson has been linked with a January move away from St. James' Park as Newcastle look to stay in line with Premier League profit and sustainability rules.
Miguel Almiron and Kieran Trippier have also attracted interest from elsewhere, though the latter will definitely be staying at the club after Newcastle rejected interest from Bayern Munich for the right-back.
United, Arsenal and Chelsea are each looking to land an affordable, Premier League experienced striker in the final days of the window as they seek to strengthen their respective frontlines.
Wilson would prove a short-term solution as the trio consider their options in a bid to add firepower this month.
