The Bournemouth striker earned a deserved England call-up yesterday for clashes against USA and Croatia.
And with Chelsea considering a January move for him, he could be lining up in all-blue after Christmas.
But would he be an improvement on Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud?
The forward, 24, has the best Premier League goals and assists record of the three this season.
Wilson has scored six and set up four, while Morata, 26, has five goals and no assists and Giroud, 32, has yet to hit the net but has laid on four.
This red-hot form comes after recovering from serious injuries to BOTH knees, suggesting a long run of games will only see him improve.
By moving from Bournemouth to Maurizio Sarri's dominating Chelsea side, Wilson would need to adapt his style of play somewhat.
In the box he is arguably the most deadly of the three, able to twist and expertly turn defenders to get his shots away.
Blues' containing football, playing the ball around the box and looking for a way in, would suit his approach.
But with lower passing accuracy (65.4 per cent) than the two Chelsea strikers, Wilson would need to improve to start playing Sarri-Ball.
Giroud already works well in Sarri's system and is able to hold the ball up and play in the likes of Eden Hazard, Pedro and the newly resurgent Ross Barkley.
But his goal drought – broken only in the Europa League against BATE Borisov on Thursday – is a cause for concern in a team that creates so many chances.
Morata has hit form of late with four goals in his last five Prem games, and has the chance to start justifying his £60million price tag after moving from Real Madrid in 2017.
Wilson has a worse minutes-per-goal ratio (161.2) than Morata (121.2) and the lowest dribble success rate (36.4 per cent), though does not have the same quality of players around him.
He also has no European pedigree, which ex-Real and Juve star Morata, and French World Cup winner Giroud boast.
But as a proven Prem striker, with pace, strength and goals in his locker, it could be a genius move for Chelsea.
Not only does he have all the physical attributes, but Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe admits he is impressed by how Wilson handled his two major injury setbacks.
Speaking after he was named in the England squad, he said: "I'm delighted for Callum and his family. It's fully deserved in my opinion and I'm delighted he's been paid back for the mental strength he's shown.
"He faced those moments on the sidelines with courage. Never a day did I see him down, which is sometimes very difficult.
"I think Callum is a very positive and a very driven person. He's really well liked by his team-mates, so I'm sure they're delighted for him."
