Eddie Howe: 'Callum Wilson will not join Chelsea in January'

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe rules out the possibility of Callum Wilson leaving the club for Chelsea during the January transfer window.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has ruled out the possibility of Callum Wilson joining Chelsea during the January transfer window.

Wilson's performances this season - which have seen him score eight Premier League goals, earn a maiden England call-up and score his first international goal - are understood to have attracted interest from the Blues, who are on the lookout for further attacking options to add to Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.

Chelsea assistant Gianfranco Zola confirmed the club's interest in the striker ahead of this evening's EFL Cup quarter-final between the two sides, while David Luiz has also talked up his qualities, but Howe insisted that the 26-year-old will not be leaving Dean Court.

"I haven't seen the comments. First I've heard about it," Howe told reporters at his post-match press conference.

"Callum's our player, very focused on us. You could see that tonight, gave everything for the team."

Wilson played the full 90 minutes as Bournemouth fell to a late 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge this evening.
