The Newcastle striker has yet to feature this term due to an injury he sustained in pre-season.

But the England forward is close to returning and both Fulham and Brentford are monitoring the player.
Both are interested in adding him to their squad in January - with Brentford seeing Wilson as the ideal potential replacement for Ivan Toney.
Fulham, meanwhile, are keen to add to their striking options and have money to spend.
Wilson is thought to be open-minded to a switch having found himself having to play second-fiddle to Alexander Isak.

Now 32, it makes sense for Newcastle to move Wilson on not least because injury problems continue to plague him.
A back issue kept him out of action during pre-season, and he hasn’t been available for the beginning of the new Premier League campaign.
The £46,000-a-week striker has been a great servant for Newcastle, leading the line expertly and being hailed as "incredible" by Howe last year.
But only nine league starts came his way in 2024/25, and he’s keen to try and secure more game-time.
