Newcastle striker Callum Wilson is reportedly being eyed by four Premier League clubs in January.
Wilson has been at St James' Park since joining from Bournemouth in September 2020 and has gone on to score 48 goals in 108 appearances for the Magpies.
The 32-year-old was very much Newcastle's main man up front initially but his role has been reduced slightly following the arrival of Alexander Isak in August 2022.
Wilson has not yet played for the Magpies this season after suffering a back injury during the summer.
He is expected to return to fitness in the coming weeks but could head for the exit in January, with Brentford, Fulham, Crystal Palace and Southampton all monitoring the striker according to The Sun.

Wilson's current deal expires in the summer and would be able to walk away freely as it stands after five years in Tyneside - meaning they may cash in in January.
Brentford are said to be leading the race to sign the former Bournemouth striker as they seek to replace Ivan Toney.
The Bees sold star striker Toney to Saudi side Al-Ahli on August 30.
Meanwhile, Fulham are also understood to be keen to bolster their attacking options, which currently include Raul Jimenez, Jay Stansfield and Rodrigo Muniz.
Wilson is open to leaving St James' Park now that he is second choice to Isak, who scored the winner in Newcastle's win over Arsenal on Saturday.
The club is unlikely to get in the way of a transfer given the striker's age and his injury problems.
He has made 108 appearances for the club since joining from Bournemouth in 2020, scoring 48 goals in that time.
