Bournemouth slam £75m on Chelsea target amid January transfer move

- Chelsea to cough out £75m if they must sign red-hot Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson

- The Blues are not comfortable with Alvaro Morata's average performance and are hoping to strengthen their attack this month

- They are also weighing their options for AC Milan forward Gonzalo Higuain who worked under Sarri while at Napoli

Premier League outfit Bournemouth have reportedly informed Chelsea to pay a huge sum of £75 million for England international Callum Wilson this month.

The 20-year-old has been in superb form foe the Cherries this campaign, scoring nine goals and assisting five others after 20 round of Premier League matches.

According to Tribal Football quoting Daily Star, the amount is 25 times the prize they paid when signing him from Coventry for Wilson in July 2014.

However, the Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is not willing o pay the amount stipulated by the club, but can go as high as £50 million in order to land their target.

The former Napoli boss is seriously looking for a replacement for Alvaro Morata, who has not lived up to standard since he moved to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2017.

Morata has just seven goals in all competitions for his side this season - a stat not too convincing for his manager.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe insists that his star striker is going nowhere during this January transfer window.

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.

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. 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
