Eddie Howe admits to £78m Newcastle United headache in final five Premier League games

Eddie Howe admits he has a decision to make regarding Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak for the final five games of the Premier League season. The £78m attacking pair are yet to start a game together for Newcastle United but have both found form in recent weeks.

Wilson netted his third brace of the month in Sunday's win over Southampton. The Newcastle No 9's eight April goals mean he has scored now more Premier League goals in a single calendar month than any Magpies player in the competition's history, surpassing Alan Shearer's best of seven in September 1999.

Wilson has shaken off his post-World Cup form and is back to his best as he fights Isak for the central striker role on Tyneside. Howe has so far been reluctant to use the duo together from the start but is now considering his options with five top flight games remaining.
