Eddie Howe may well have toasted three permanent signings already this summer at Newcastle United.
But the sight of both Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser training together last week for the start of pre-season at Benton may well have given him just as much satisfaction as he starts to plot his first full season as Newcastle boss. The duo's telepathy at AFC Bournemouth was impressive under Howe as the Cherries impressed in the Premier League.
Indeed, in 2019 the pair made Premier League history as they combined 12 times for goals and even beat a record set by Alan Shearer and Mike Newell during the Geordie legend's stint at Blackburn in the 1995/96 season (11 goal combinations). Back then Fraser set up Wilson a remarkable seven times while the striker set the Scot up on five occasions.
