Newcastle United could be ready to return to south coast to lure another one of AFC Bournemouth’s big stars to St James’ Park.

The Chronicle understands that Cherries striker Callum Wilson could be on United’s radar in the next six months - according to sources in Hampshire.

United were successful in persuading Matt Ritchie to leave behind Premier League football and make the relocation to Tyneside last summer, and Wilson is also thought to be a player who could interest the Magpies.

Wilson recovered from a serious knee injury last season and has played 11 times this season, with the striker netting three times in the Premier League this campaign.

The 24-year-old has 31 goals in 74 games for the Cherries and while he is contracted to the south coast club until 2020, he could be tempted to follow in the footsteps of Ritchie with the Scotland winger making his move a big success so far and having no problems settling in the area.

It is believed that Wilson fits the bill for the type of younger British player Newcastle are looking to add to their squad going forward.

The Magpies have moved away from relying mainly on French players and chief scout Graham Carr’s scouting missions are much more varied these days.
