'Callum is our player' - Howe expects Wilson to stay at Bournemouth amid Chelsea links

Eddie Howe expects Callum Wilson to stay at Bournemouth in the January transfer window, amid reported interest from Chelsea.

Wilson played the entirety of Bournemouth's Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat at Stamford Bridge, with Eden Hazard's late goal proving the difference.

The England international could have capped an impressive performance with a goal midway through the first half, only to drag wide from the edge of the box to let his reported suitors off the hook.

But Howe insisted Wilson, who has scored eight Premier League goals this term, will be staying put next month, despite Chelsea assistant Gianfranco Zola having claimed in the build up to Wednesday's encounter that the striker was on the Blues' radar.
