Bournemouth forward Callum Wilson says that he does not deserve to be frequently linked with a move to a bigger club in the Premier League.

Bournemouth forward Callum Wilson has played down speculation regarding a potential move to another Premier League club.

Having played an important role during Bournemouth's time in the top flight, Wilson has been frequently linked with a move to a bigger team.

However, despite the likes of Chelsea being credited with an interest, the England international has acknowledged that a return of eight goals from 28 outings is not enough to warrant constant talk about his future.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Wilson said: "Of course it is flattering, they are great clubs, massive clubs in the league.

"Last season, my performances were quite consistent and when there were links, I tried to stay at a certain level and play well. Any player would like to play in the Champions League and progress, that's what I've based my whole career on.

"First and foremost is obviously keeping Bournemouth up and safe and I haven't been good enough this season to even be talking about things like that."

The 28-year-old still has over three years remaining on his contract at the Vitality Stadium.
