Howe confident Bournemouth will hold onto Chelsea target Wilson

Bournemouth will not sell Callum Wilson amid interest from Premier League rivals Chelsea.

The Blues are reportedly looking for a striker to sign during the upcoming transfer window, with Wilson touted as a possible target.

The 26-year-old has scored eight Premier League goals in 15 games this season and earned his first England call-up. But Cherries boss Eddie Howe thinks the club can hold onto their prized asset.

"Yes, we are (confident)," said Howe.

"At this stage we are just focusing on the matches, we have got so many games to come around the Christmas period, I am sure Callum is the same, he is focusing on his football.

"We are certainly not anticipating losing players in January that we don't want to."
