Chelsea ready to land highly rated England striker in January

- Blues boss Maurizio Sarri will have to cough out £30m to sign Callum Wilson next month

- The red-hot striker has scored eight Premier League goals and also assisted five others so far this season

- His current deal with the Cherries runs out in the summer of 2022 after joining them from Coventry City in 2014 for a fee around £3.33m

Chelsea have reportedly stepped up their plans to sign Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson when the January transfer window opens next month.

Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is not satisfied with his strikers and will be hoping to add depth to his front line when the January transfer window opens.

Talk Sports however reports the England international fits the bill of the player he wants as a replacement for under-firing Alvaro Morata.

Wilson has scored eight goals and created five assists for Eddie Howe's side in the Premier League this term.

He also netted in England's 3-0 win over the United States in last month's international friendly game against the United States of America.

However, the Stamford Bridge outfit have been told to prepare £30 million if they must secure the signature of the highly rated striker.

Both Morata and Olivier Giroud have not been impressive in front of goal, with the Frenchman scoring just once in the EPL this term.

Meanwhile, Cherries boss Eddie Howe is reluctant to discuss any such move for the player he brought in for £3m from Coventry City in 2014.

"Callum is focusing on his football and we are not anticipating losing any players in January we don’t want to," Howe said.

Legit.ng recalls that Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri is eyeing a January transfer move for Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier.

The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
