He boasts the best goals per game ratio in the Premier League, with 0.87 goals every 90 minutes this season.

That has sparked interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, with all three eyeing a January transfer.

Wilson has since taken to Instagram to share his thoughts, posting a graphic of the sun and the moon alongside an hourglass emoji.

The cryptic graphic also read: “Don’t compare your life to others.

“There’s no comparison between the sun and the moon, they shine when it’s their time.”

SunSport exclusively revealed on Friday that Wilson, 31, is available on a cut-price deal worth £18million as Newcastle fear breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.

Newcastle must sell before buying to remain within FFP rules, and Wilson’s contract is up in 18 months.

Eddie Howe wants to keep Wilson and he revealed the forward remains committed to Newcastle.

He said: “It’s been a strange one. Callum is a huge part of what we’re doing and we’re desperate to get him and Alexander Isak fit at the same time.

“No part of me wants to lose Callum. We want to keep him here but some things are out of my control.

“The club is acting with the long-term interests of Newcastle in mind, so let’s see what happens.”

Newcastle also knocked back a £12.8million bid from Bayern Munich for Kieran Trippier earlier this week. 

And Howe added: “We hope he will stay and are confident he will be part of our future.

“I have to make it clear that he’s never asked to leave of questioned his future. He’s fully committed. We’ve had a lot of conversations and his commitment to Newcastle shouldn’t be questioned. 

“Contemplating losing a player would be very difficult personally, especially our best players. 

“That situation is finished but I’ve been in football long enough to never say 100 per cent as I don’t want to look stupid.”

With a host of players linked with moves away, Howe told the Toon Army that no signings are on the horizon. 

Winger Miguel Almiron has been attracting interest from Saudi side Al-Shabab. 

On the Paraguayan’s future, Howe said: “There’s been a lot of noise but I’m desperate to keep him. He’s been an integral part since I’ve come to the club, his contribution has been immense.

“The noise comes from somewhere but hopefully we can keep him and the window shuts quickly!

“It’s been a difficult window for us because for the first time since I’ve been here that we’ve been linked with players leaving. It creates an unsettling dynamic.” 

Another star whose future is up in the air is Brazilian powerhouse Joelinton.

The midfielder has been ruled out until May with injury but may have played his last game for the club given there is no agreement on a new contract, which expires in the summer of 2025.

And Howe said: “As his manager, I’m determined for him to stay. I love him as a person and a player, so that would be my wish, for him to sign a long-term contract. But of course there’s more to it than that.

“There’s Joe’s wishes and what he wants. Before he signs a contract he has to be entirely happy with everything. We’re not at that stage yet.”
