Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has dismissed transfer speculation around Callum Wilson.

The 27-year-old has scored five Premier League goals so far, and reports have suggested he will be on Manchester United's wanted list when the transfer window opens again in January.

"I take with a pinch of salt, to be honest, at this stage of the season," Howe said when asked about the reports around Wilson's future.

"There is nothing that we can do, that Callum can do, other than perform well. That influences rumours and things like that at this stage of the season.

"He has just got to focus on his next game and give his best for this club.

"To hear transfer links and rumours at this stage when the window is shut and a long way from being open, for me, it is pointless talking about it."
