Callum Wilson could be set for a surprise move out of Newcastle before this month's transfer deadline ends.
According to TeamTalk, The Magpies have reportedly given the green light for the England striker to leave, with five Premier League clubs all interested in acquiring the forward's services.
Wilson, who has scored 46 goals from 102 games in a Newcastle shirt, signed a new deal with the club in September that runs until 2025 but has been the subject of interest from Chelsea, West Ham, Aston Villa, as well as Arsenal and Manchester United.
Newcastle would be looking for around £18 million for WIlson, who this season has netted eight goals in 20 appearances and is still very much part of Gareth Southgate's England squad.
Chelsea have been in the market for a new centre forward, especially if Armando Broja leaves this month, and have made Wilson a target along with Aston Villa's Jhon Duran. At the same time, both Arsenal and Man Utd are also keen to bolster their attacking options.
Adding the 31-year-old Wilson to any squad would give the sides an experienced Premier League striker, who has scored 86 goals in the top flight across his spells with Bournemouth and Newcastle.
