Newcastle's star player, Callum Wilson, is reportedly poised to be part of a potential swap deal involving Brentford's standout, Bryan Mbuemo. It appears that Wilson is no longer essential at St. James’ Park, prompting Newcastle to pursue Mbuemo as his replacement. Currently sidelined due to injury, Wilson has not joined the squad for their warm weather training in Saudi Arabia. Once he recovers, Brentford or other interested clubs may evaluate his fitness.

Brentford is in pole position and views Callum Wilson as the ideal replacement for Ivan Toney. Wilson is open to a move due to limited playing time at Newcastle, where he is second to Alexander Isak. His contract expires next summer, which presents an opportunity for a transfer fee before a potential free transfer in 2025.

Callum Wilson, who is an experienced striker currently playing for Newcastle United, is in the process of recovering from a shoulder injury. However, despite his recovery, he continues to be the second choice behind Isak, according to Newcastle's coach Eddie Howe. The Sun has reported that Brentford has shown a particular interest in Wilson to fill the vacancy left by Ivan Toney, who has recently signed with Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia. This potential transfer could take place during the January transfer window.

Callum Wilson is also being monitored by Brentford, who see him as a potential replacement for Ivan Toney. Wilson's injury issues have limited his appearances for Newcastle, and he is open to a move to secure more game-time. Newcastle is interested in moving him on to free up funds for other targets, such as Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
