Callum Wilson has set a ten-goal target by November to force himself into England’s World Cup squad.
The ambitious Newcastle striker scored with a sublime flick and then admitted he hasn’t given up on being part of Gareth Southgate’s plans for Qatar. With Harry Kane’s deputy, Dominic Calvert-Lewin injured for six week, Wilson is hoping for an early goal glut as Eddie Howe’s rejuvenated, front-foot side catapults him back into international contention.
The four cap one goal star, 30, is in his prime and fully fit after a calf tear ruined four months of last season. He said: “I am sure double figures would get you into the squad. “I have to hit the ground running. At the moment I am probably not in the running but it is something that is in my mind, focusing on, and when I set my targets I try to achieve them.
