Eddie Howe is looking for Callum Wilson to deliver 20 goals next season - after Newcastle missed out on top summer strike target Hugo Ekitike.
The United boss is ready to run the risk of Wilson being his main striker despite a fragile injury record. Howe wants his No.9 to have a trouble free season, as the transfer window causes frustration and throws up fantasy prices for strikers.
The Geordies are after reinforcements up front and Leeds’ winger Jack Harrison remains a target, but there’s no chance of landing Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen who is too expensive at £60m or Aleksander Isak from Real Sociedad. Newcastle are wary of financial fair play regulations having already spent £55m.
