AFC Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson has committed his future to the club by signing a new four-year deal - keeping him at Vitality Stadium until June 2020.

The 24-year-old made a huge impact for the Cherries during his first season on the South Coast in 2014/15, scoring 23 goals in all competitions as the club were promoted to the top flight.

Wilson continued that form into the opening segment of the Cherries' first Premier League season, scoring five Premier League goals in his first six starts.

After a lengthy injury cut short Wilson's lightning start, the striker returned at the back end of the season and is back to full fitness ahead of the new campaign. 

Chief executive Neill Blake said: "We're absolutely delighted that Callum has signed a new four-year deal.

"Callum has constantly improved during his time here and only his injury stopped him from having a big impact in the Premier League last year.

"Now back to full fitness, we're excited to see Callum continue to improve over the next four years."
