Callum Wilson has joked Newcastle United is 'obviously' the best destination for Jude Bellingham before admitting it is 'too soon' for the Magpies to compete to sign the England star. Bellingham is expected to be at the centre of a transfer tussle this summer with Liverpool and Real Madrid among the frontrunners.
Newcastle are understood to be in the market for a central midfielder in the mid-season window, with Bruno Guimaraes joining Jonjo Shelvey on the sidelines. However, Eddie Howe and sporting director Dan Ashworth have both warned the club can not continue to spend as they have in the last two windows due to Financial Fair Play.
Bellingham's future was discussed on the Footballer's Football Podcast, with West Ham striker Michail Antonio and Wilson both talking about potential destinations for the teenager. Newcastle's number nine did not hesitate when he was asked where he believed the Borussia Dortmund star should sign.
