​Bournemouth striker Wilson hoping to reach double figures

Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson wants to finish the season with at least 10 goals to his name.

The pacey striker faced a spell on the sidelines earlier in the season, but he came back roaring midway through and has helped his side stave off relegation fears.

Wilson is in good form, having kept his fellow England international Jermain Defoe out of the team for the past few weeks.

He has eight goals in 23 appearances since coming back from a knee injury for the club.

"The season is going okay and I'm happy with my performances. I'd like to add a bit more in terms of goals and assists but I'm focused on getting minutes on the pitch and putting in good displays week to week," he said to the Daily Echo.

"I'd like to get into double figures goals-wise as soon as possible. But there are plenty of games to go and I will do that, no doubt.

"I have confidence in my ability. We have some good games coming up against teams around us. It's going to be important to make sure I'm clinical when I get a chance."
