Few Newcastle United fans could doubt the quality Callum Wilson brings to the side. In 2019-20, the year before his arrival, Jonjo Shelvey finished as the Magpies’ top scorer in the league, with six goals.
It was evident a striker was top of the transfer priorities as fans quickly realised Joelinton was not the answer - at least not up front, anyways. Despite clubs facing uncertainty due to Covid-19, Mike Ashley surprisingly granted Steve Bruce his wish by forking out £20million to sign Wilson from the recently-relegated Bournemouth.
Nobody can question the 30-year-old’s goal record since arriving on Tyneside. Wilson has bagged 20 in 44 top-flight games to emerge as Newcastle’s biggest goal threat.
