Callum Wilson would be perfect for Chelsea says Jason Cundy

Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson has enjoyed a fine start to the season and his performances are clearly not going unnoticed.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, former Chelsea player Jason Cundy believes the English striker would be perfect for Maurizio Sarri’s side, following suggestions he could be on the move in January.

I’m looking at my club, Chelsea. We’ve got two No.9’s in Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud. Neither of them are holding down a regular spot.

And I think with the way Chelsea are playing under Maurizio Sarri, Callum Wilson would be perfect for Chelsea. Perfect! He can spin in behind, he’s got an eye for goal and he’s an intelligent player.

Wilson’s impressive start has seen him net five times and register four assists for his team-mates.

The striker’s form has sparked talk of not only an England call-up but a possible move away from the club in January.

Wilson has often been linked with moves away from Bournemouth in the past, but only when it appeared his future lied elsewhere following his injury problems.

Chelsea could be in the market for a striker when the January window opens.

Neither Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud have impressed on a consistent basis this season, with Sarri yet to decide on who his first-choice forward is.

matchday.
