Callum Wilson's eight goals this April means he has scored now more Premier League goals in a single calendar month than any Newcastle United player in the competition's history, surpassing Alan Shearer's best of seven in September 1999.
Wilson, who helped himself to his third brace of the month in the 3-1 win over Southampton, has re-found his scoring touch after struggling to shake his post-World Cup troubles at the start of 2023. Wilson started on the bench for Sunday's win but was introduced at half-time before making an instant impact.
Wilson's stunning month in front of goal has Newcastle fans itching to see the Magpies No 9 and Alexander Isak deployed at the same time, from the outset. Something Eddie Howe has been reluctant to do this season unless his team are chasing the game after the interval.
