Newcastle United have one eye on the transfer window.
The Magpies are safely ensconced in the bottom half of the table – they are 13th and 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Thus, there is precious little to play for in their final game of the season, where they will play champions Liverpool, who were crowned earlier this week.
It means there is clearly a focus on the summer transfer window, which opens on Monday, though their preparations are being hampered somewhat by the uncertainty surrounding their budget this summer.
They are, of course, somewhat in limbo as the Saudi Arabian-backed Public Investment Fund continues to wait for ratification of their takeover from the Premier League.
It is not known, then, if they will have a massive amount of money to spend, or if their belt will be somewhat tightened in the window.
Nevertheless, the Daily Express reports that they have already identified a possible acquisition.
Indeed, should AFC Bournemouth be relegated this weekend, they are set to make a bid for striker Callum Wilson.
Bournemouth need to beat Everton and hope that Watford lose to Arsenal and West Ham United beat Aston Villa to have any chance of survival.
If they do drop through the trapdoor, Newcastle are eyeing a bid for Wilson, who would cost around £20 million in the transfer window.
Boss Steve Bruce is a fan of the 28-year-old, who has scored nine goals in all competitions this season.
However, it remains to be seen if the current ownership would be willing to do a deal for the forward, or if the takeover would need to be ratified for any offer to go through.
GIVEMESPORT’S Harry Sherlock says…
Wilson is an intriguing prospect for Newcastle.
The striker has bags of experience and has shown that he has the talent to score at the highest level.
Throughout his career, he has made 125 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 41 goals and registering 16 assists.
He would represent a marked upgrade on the likes of Joelinton and Andy Carroll, but it seems likely that any deal is going to come down to the fee.
And, indeed, whether the current ownership are willing to pay up.
If they aren’t, one has to fear that the Magpies will be left simply awaiting confirmation of their takeover before being able to actually make any bids for potential acquisitions.
