Newcastle United already have a number nine who, in the words of Eddie Howe, is an 'outstanding goalscorer at this level'. It begs the question, then: can Callum Wilson stay fit?
Wilson is certainly doing his bit. The striker has been working most days during the summer and even plans to move his family up from the South Coast to ensure he is spending his days off doing recovery sessions at the training ground rather than travelling hundreds of miles each week.
Wilson is desperate to hit the ground running and the 30-year-old's dream of making a late push for the World Cup will work in Newcastle's favour at a time when England are crying out for something a little different in reserve. The Three Lions, after all, scored just one goal in four Nations League games last month and that was a penalty from Harry Kane.
