England's World Cup winning fly-half could be set for a move to France

Jonny Wilkinson met with Toulon officials on Saturday with a move to the French club looking increasingly likely. Toulon are currently struggling in 11th place in the French Top 14 and are battling for their future, but they are already recruiting for next season under the guidance of former France international and Sale coach Philippe Saint-Andre. With Argentina fly-half Felipe Contepomi already signed speculation refuses to die down about England star Wilkinson's future. The Newcastle Falcons number 10 has been sidelined for five months after dislocating his left kneecap, but could now be set for a move across The Channel. "We welcomed him, he was happy and now he's gone," Toulon chairman Mourad Boudjellal was quoted as saying by French daily L'Equipe website. "The most important thing today for us is to stay in the top flight. We will think about other things afterwards."
