Premier League Transfers

Based on what he said about building a strong future after the FA Cup final, Aston Villa's Chri​stian Benteke would appear to not be actively seeking a move, but the Belgian may have little choice if the club accepts a big offer.

In that respect, Villa are already looking for possible replacements and the ​Daily Mirror has revealed that Bournemouth's Callum Wilson is very much on the radar. The west-midlands-born striker has recently been linked with a £12m move to Tottenham, while Villa had a £7m bid rejected in January.

He was playing for struggling L1 Coventry only 12 months ago and cost them peanuts.

Just goes to show there's some real talent in The lower leagues

Bournemouth actually paid 3 million for him. Still, Wilson's proved to be a magnificent signing. He will get called up for England next season, he reminds me of Jermaine Defoe but has a lot more power to shrug off/bully defenders.
