"I think he’s a very good player. We’re in the process and have been checking it out. I’ve seen him a number of times."Wilson badly injured his knee, in October, but he has now made a return for the Cherries. Last Saturday, he came off the bench as Eddie Howe's side nudged Aston Villa closer to the relegation trap door. Now, Wilson is pressing for a starting spot and, with it, could push his name back into the Irish picture. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/666890839902314497 Benik Afobe, Joshua King and Lewis Grabban have all chipped in with goals but Wilson has told Bournemouth Echo his sights are set on finishing as the club's top scorer. He said:
"Competition for any striker is good because it pushes you. The manager has made some great signings and those players have helped get us to where we are now.

I am still only one goal behind so hopefully I can make that up."Next up for Wilson and Bournemouth is a home tie against Liverpool. Were Wilson interested in playing for Ireland, and called up by O'Neill, he would only have the friendlies against The Netherlands and Belarus to stake his claim.
