Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson is on the radar of Fulham, Crystal Palace, Brentford and Southampton ahead of the January transfer window.
The 32-year-old has yet to feature for the Magpies this season due to an injury he sustained in pre-season.
However, he is nearing a return, and several clubs are monitoring his situation. Wilson is open-minded about leaving Newcastle after falling behind Alexander Isak in the pecking order.
Wilson is out of contract next summer, and the club could be open to cashing in on him in January instead of allowing him to leave for free at the end of the season.
Frequent injury woes over the years have limited his involvement with the first team, and selling him could make plenty of sense.
Brentford are still looking to replace Ivan Toney, while Fulham have cash to splash when the transfer window reopens.
Wilson could prefer going to a club where he can play regularly, and a move to struggling Southampton could appeal to him.
The Saints are without a win in nine Premier League games this term, and landing the Newcastle star could make all the difference in their relegation battle.
With 47 goals in 95 Premier League games for the Magpies, Wilson brings much-needed experience and quality to the table for any top-flight club.
