Airdrie 'accept' six-figure fee for star striker Ben Wilson
The Diamonds are reportedly set to part company with their main attacking threat from last season
Airdrieonians have reportedly accepted a £200,000 offer from Welsh side TNS for striker Ben Wilson.
The Northern Irishman only joined the Championship club last summer but enjoyed a prolific campaign scoring 17 goals in 46 matches in all competitions.
And according to Sky Sports, TNS - who banked around £6million from appearing in the revamped Conference League group stage last season, are ready to splash the cash on the 23-year-old.
Wilson made a big impression when he arrived in Monklands last summer, netting a hat-trick on his competitive debut in a thumping 8-0 win over East Kilbride in the Premier sports League Cup. He also netted in each of his first four games for the club.
Now it appears the Diamonds will need to source a replacement as the former Cliftonville man looks set to leave Scotland.
Airdrie have already added to their squad for the new Championship season with the capture of defender Craig Ross from Stranraer, while long-serving defender Craig Watson announced his departure earlier this week.
