Chris Sutton explains why Newcastle forward Callum Wilson 'has to go' to World Cup with England

Callum Wilson Chris Sutton Newcastle World Cup Aston Villa England Gareth Southgate Harry Kane EPL Magpies

Chris Sutton believes Callum Wilson is a shoo-in to make England’s World Cup squad this month. Despite not playing for the Three Lions in three years, calls are getting louder for the Magpies’ number one to board the plane.

Wilson bagged a brace and set up the other two in Newcastle’s 4-0 rout over Aston Villa - taking his tally for the season to six. Gareth Southgate watched on from the St James’ Park stands as the 30-year-old tore Aaron Danks’ side to shreds.

The England boss is set to name his World Cup squad on November 10 ahead of the opening game against Iran. Newcastle should have two representatives guaranteed to board the plane, with Kieran Trippier and Nick Pope regular fixtures in Southgate’s setup.
