Eddie Howe has insisted Bournemouth will not allow striker Callum Wilson to leave in the January transfer window.

West Brom and Newcastle United are both interested in the 24-year-old, according to Sky sources, but Howe is adamant that he is going nowhere.

"Callum Wilson's not for sale, he's a massive part of our plans and our future," said Howe, ahead of Bournemouth hosting Crystal Palace in Tuesday night's Premier League clash.

"This is the most difficult transfer window I've been involved in, the pool of players is so small.

"We have been looking, we have been looking, but we'll see what happens. Any player has to benefit the team.

"Anyone can sign a player but it's about signing someone who can make a difference."

Howe said that there are a couple of players who could go out on loan, with French forward Lys Mousset one of them.

"We might be losing one or two, possibly on loan," said Howe. "I won't comment on individual signings."

Ivory Coast striker Max Gradel has completed his Africa Cup of Nations duties and could yet feature in Tuesday's Palace encounter.

"We anticipate seeing Max at some point today, he was obviously away at the Africa Cup of Nations and hasn't had as much football as he would have liked," said Howe.

"We'll assess him when he's back with us and make a decision on him from there."
