Top 5 Premier League forwards approaching contract expiry: Stay or go?

Several top Premier League forwards, including Mohamed Salah, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Callum Wilson, Raul Jimenez, and Jamie Vardy, are nearing the end of their contracts. Their futures remain uncertain, with some likely to stay while others could move on. Here’s a look at what’s next for each player.

Callum Wilson (Newcastle United)

Wilson, now 33, joined Newcastle in 2020 and is approaching the end of his contract. Injuries have significantly affected his time at the club, limiting him to just eight Premier League appearances this season, with only one start and no goals.

Since the arrival of Alexander Isak, Wilson has largely played a backup role. Until last season, he remained an influential presence whenever fit, whether as the first-choice striker or an impact substitute. However, Newcastle has grown increasingly frustrated with his availability, as he has missed nearly as many games as he has played.

Reports from Football Insider indicate Newcastle will let Wilson leave at the end of the season. His high wages, combined with his injury history, make his departure likely. Championship leaders Leeds United, who are expected to secure Premier League promotion, have been linked with a move for Wilson in the summer when he becomes a free agent.

Prediction: LEAVE
