Wolves set to battle with Chelsea for Wilson

Premier League side Wolves are ready to rival Chelsea for the signature of Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson, according to a report on the Birmingham Mail.

The Blues are desperate to sign a striker this month as Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud continue to fail to find goalscoring form. 

Reports earlier this month were suggesting that Chelsea were ready to pay £50m for Wilson, but Bournemouth have now upped their asking price to £75m.

The Cherries are eager to keep the Englishman at the club but if their huge asking price is met, then they could be tempted to allowing him to leave. 

Wolves are also on the hunt for a forward and with their move for Tammy Abraham breaking down, they have turned their attention to Wilson.

Bookmakers have made Wolves the second favourites to sign the striker but his price could be out of their budget. 

Maurizio Sarri is keen to bring Gonzalo Higuain to Stamford Bridge and it seems that the Argentine is currently his primary target.
