Following the acquisition of two new forwards this month, Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe, manager Nuno Espirito Santo has indicated Wilson's imminent exit.
He stated to the BBC: "Callum and I have held several discussions, including one very recently. With the arrival of two strikers, which was my decision, the situation has changed. Callum is vastly experienced and understands the dynamics."
Tottenham Accelerate Search for Attacker
According to The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur could intensify their efforts to sign an attacker in January due to concerns over Mohammed Kudus's injury.

Man Utd Linked with Manager 'Interested' in Switch
Manchester United's search for a new manager has led to strong links with Oliver Glasner. Reports from GIVEMESPORT suggest the Crystal Palace manager is "interested" in a move to Old Trafford.

Man City Open to January Business
Pep Guardiola has suggested Manchester City may enter the transfer market following injuries to defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias. The club has been associated with Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi, whose contract expires this summer.
Guardiola commented: "Perhaps we will do something, but it won't be like last year. We won't sign four or five players and be the highest net spend. Despite perceptions, that's not our plan."
Ronaldo Advocates for Rudiger Move to Al-Nassr

Newcastle an Option for Sterling?
Raheem Sterling, seeking an exit from Chelsea where he has fallen out of favor, reportedly has multiple options. TEAMtalk indicates no formal approach has been made by Newcastle United despite speculation.
West Ham retain interest but are currently focusing on Adama Traore, while Fulham aim to keep him in London. The report adds that two other Premier League sides have also inquired about the winger.

Solskjaer Open to Man Utd Caretaker Role?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly receptive to the idea of returning to Manchester United in a caretaker capacity. The club is searching for an interim manager following Amorim's exit, over four years after Solskjaer's own dismissal.
While Darren Fletcher will temporarily oversee the team, the club is expected to appoint a short-term manager for the coming months before securing a permanent successor in the summer.
