Callum Wilson Next Club Odds: Leeds Head Market For Free Agent
Callum Wilson's time at Newcastle has come to an end after his contract expired. The Magpies have landed their first summer signing in Anthony Elanga, this coming just days after they waved goodbye to their number nine.
After five seasons at St James' Park, the 33-year-old has many admirers, but Leeds have emerged as the early favourites with betting sites to sign the veteran striker.
A hugely popular figure with Newcastle fans, he released an emotional parting message on the club's website:
"It's time to say goodbye after an unbelievable few years in the Toon.
Callum Wilson has confirmed he will depart Newcastle United after five seasons at the club.

"Thank you for everything. We stood strong together through the highs and some lows to help the club experience new heights.
"I am so proud to have worn the iconic number 9 shirt and to have added a little more history to it. Scoring at the Gallowgate End really is as special as they say.
"All good things come to an end, but there's no doubt Newcastle United will always have a place in mine and my family's hearts.
"Thank you for the memories."
The race is on to sign the experienced striker before the start of next season, and below, Gambling.com takes a look at the clubs in the running and the best Callum Wilson next club odds.
Leeds Looking To Add Experience
Leeds will be hoping to consolidate themselves as a Premier League club this season and will need to add some experience to their squad.
Joel Piroe bagged 19 goals last season, but he is untested at the highest level, which will concern some fans.
Wilson would bring that much-needed Premier League know-how to the club and would be a good influence on the younger players in the squad.
Leeds are the Evens favourites with football betting sites to sign the former England international this summer.

Clarets Could Swoop For Callum
Burnley are another newly promoted side that are said to be interested in the veteran striker.
Scott Parker has already brought Kyle Walker to the club, showing he wants to add more experience to his team.
Wilson's wages could be a problem, but he may be willing to lower his demands for the right project.
Burnley are the 2/1 second favourites to sign the former Newcastle man.
Callum Wilson Next Club Odds:

Leeds | Evens | 50% |
Burnley | 2/1 | 33.3% |
Everton | 5/2 | 28.6% |

Any MLS Club | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Any Saudi Club | 14/1 | 6.7% |
Toffees To Make A Move?
Everton's fortunes turned around after David Moyes took over last season, but their lack of firepower is a worry.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has left the club after his contract ended, so the need for a new striker is even more important.
Wilson's hold-up play would be an ideal fit for Moyes' direct style, and he would be a good signing for the club as they move into their new stadium.
Everton are priced at 5/2 with betting apps to sign him ahead of next season.
Bournemouth Return On The Cards?
Wilson's career took off after he joined Bournemouth in 2014.
He played a big role in the club's promotion to the Premier League and during their subsequent seasons in the top flight before leaving for Newcastle.
The 33-year-old is still loved by Cherries' fans and would be welcomed back with open arms at the Vitality Stadium.
He is 3/1 to return to his old haunt in the summer window.
Wolves And Forest In The Mix
Wolves (4/1) endured a mixed time of it last season, but were much improved after Vitor Pereira took charge in December.
Wilson would be a decent signing, but the club have preferred to sign younger players with potential in recent years.
Nottingham Forest (11/2), on the other hand, built their team around an experienced core last season.
Chris Wood bagged 20 goals in the last campaign, and he knows all about Wilson from their time together at Newcastle.
Whether Nuno Espirito Santo would want two 33-year-old strikers at the club remains to be seen.
Coventry Could Offer Reunion
Wilson made his first breakthrough at Coventry (10/1) as a teenager, and returning to where it all began is not beyond the realms of possibility.
Any potential move would depend on whether he is willing to drop down to the Championship and whether the Sky Blues can afford his wage demands.
Elsewhere, Brentford are priced at 8/1, a move to any MLS club is 12/1 and joining any Saudi club can be backed at 14/1.
