On July 7, 2025, Callum Wilson officially confirmed his departure from Newcastle United at the end of his five-year contract . The 33‑year‑old scored 49 goals in 130 appearances during his time at St James.
Multiple outlets report that newly promoted Leeds United have emerged as the leading contenders to sign Wilson on a free transfer . Leeds boss Daniel Farke is seeking experienced Premier League talent up front to bolster the squad, and Wilson fits the bill .
Newcastle reportedly offered Wilson a one‑year “pay‑as‑you‑play” deal, but both parties couldn’t reach an agreement . That effectively clears the path for a move to Leeds.
While Wilson has battled recurring hamstring and back injuries—playing just 16 Premier League games this past season—he boasts a proven track record with 47 top-flight goals since joining Newcastle in 2020
Leeds are likely to prioritize Wilson as a budget-friendly option with Premier League experience that could spearhead their survival push. If he stays fit, Callum Wilson could provide the firepower that helped them gain promotion—while giving him a route to continue playing at England’s top
level.
