News about Callum Wilson

CRAIG HOPE: Magpies boss Eddie Howe (inset) has been able to start with both of his frontmen on just one occasion this season because of injury. That was at Burnley 10 days ago, but the pair have since been struck down by illness. Wilson's (right) contract expires in 2025 and there is an expectation he will leave this summer, with a younger forward brought in as replacement. In the short-term, he is hoping one of Isak (left) or Wilson recovers in time to face Man United at Old Trafford on Wednesday, especially given the hosts are likely to start with Casemiro and Jonny Evans at centre-back.

An engineering student who abused England striker Callum Wilson on social media because he passed the ball to a white teammate has dodged jail. Ibukun Quadri, 21, called Wilson a '****' during England's 2022 FIFA World Cup opener with Iran on 21 November 2022. Quadri was 19 when he sent the message to Wilson, who replaced England captain Harry Kane in the 76th minute at the Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar. England had scored through Jude Bellingham , Bukayo Saka , Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford, before Wilson pulled the ball back for Jack Grealish to finish. But the Warwick University student said: 'Wilson you are a **** for that.'

Ruthless Newcastle pushed Burnley closer to the Premier League trapdoor with a 4-1 rout at Turf Moor that boosts their Europa League hopes. It was a crushing afternoon for Burnley as Nottingham Forest's 3-1 win at Sheffield United left them five points from safety with only two left to play - a trip to Tottenham next week before Forest visit on the final day. And it was the same old story. Vincent Kompany's men began brightly and created a string of chances in the first 15 minutes but Callum Wilson scored from Newcastle's first real attack 19 minutes in before goals from Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes put the game beyond doubt before half time.

Michail Antonio (left) has hit out at Roy Keane's (right) 'dinosaur mentality' after the Manchester United legend criticised players who host podcasts. The West Ham striker has co-hosted the BBC Sounds Footballer's Football podcast since 2021 along with Callum Wilson, and more recently, Fulham captain Tom Cairney. Keane, without mentioning any names, told the Stick to Football podcast: 'I think that [podcasts] can be a distraction for a player, particularly if you're on the back of a defeat, and you're in the next day and everyone is having a bit of a laugh.' Antonio, in his latest podcast with Cairney, has swiped back at the Manchester United legend and explained the advantages of hosting them.

Eddie Howe has warned Newcastle's hierarchy it will cost a lot of money to replace Callum Wilson, should the club decide to sell him this summer. The 32-year-old is entering the final 12 months of his contract and there is an expectation he will move on before next season. Wilson's record, when fit, is unquestionable, and he has scored 46 times from 77 starts in black and white. He went to the 2022 World Cup with England on the back of a scoring streak at the start of last season.

Roy Keane has made clear his views on active athletes doing their own podcasts - and unsurprisingly it wouldn't be his cup of tea. Premier League stars Callum Wilson of Newcastle and Michail Antonio of West Ham hosts their own podcast on the BBC.  The subject was discussed on the latest episode of Stick to Football following the extraordinary success of the 'New Heights' podcast fronted by NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce.

CRAIG HOPE: Despite the marches in Sheffield on Wednesday, the overcrowding in Newcastle's FA Cup match against Hillsborough last year has now been described as a "near miss" by the organisers. After we highlighted fears raised by followers of Leppings Lane End, where 97 Liverpool supporters died after a crush in the 1989 FA Cup semi-finals, Mail Sport has been barred from attending matches by the Championship club. Fans of Newcastle's frightening in the concourse and tunnel entrance to the seating area prior to kick-off. We reported their evidence and were informed by the club that we were no longer accepted at Hillsborough.

Manchester United and Brighton have each sustained 28 injuries, while Tottenham, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace have all been dealt with 27 lay-offs. Liverpool and Chelsea have each sustained 27 separate injuries, highlighted by the combined 19 absentees from their matchday squads for the Carabao Cup finals at Wembley on Sunday.

Erling Haaland has burst onto the scene in the last two years at Manchester City, scoring 36 goals in a campaign that saw his team win a historic Treble containing the Premier League title. The score was a record for a Premier League season, and with 12 games remaining, he has already added 17 to his total this season. However, the Norwegian doesn't even rank in the top scorers of the last five years, with no Manchester City players making the cut.

CRAIG HOPE: Callum Wilson's pectoral surgery and absence of up to three months could cost Newcastle United millions of pounds. Why? Well, my observations in January, when Atletico Madrid's loan application was rejected, was that Wilson would likely leave this summer. With his deal coming to an end in 2025 and him turning 32 this month, I'm told there is a mutual understanding between club and player that the time has come for a change.

Callum Wilson's hopes of making the England squad for Euro 2024 are all but over as he prepares for three months out due to a pectoral tendon injury. Newcastle's striker is expected to be hospitalized, according to Mail Sport, and he will be out for nine to twelve weeks. It's the latest injury blow to strike Eddie Howe's Magpies, who have had a season marred by absences. Wilson is expected to miss the next ten games this season, and if he does not appear again this season, he may have played his last game for the club this season, given his deal will have 12 months to run in the summer. Mail Sport knows that abroad, including Saudi Arabia, is a point of concern.

Callum Wilson has sustained a pectoral injury and Newcastle is sweating on his fitness ahead of his game against Bournemouth on Saturday. The striker, who was making his first appearance since christmas at Nottingham Forest, was tangled with a defender late in the game and left the field slinging his shirt. Wilson had a problem with his arm, according to Eddie Howe after the 3-2 victory.

Manchester United's recruitment in the past two years has been criticized extensively, and now three of the Premier League's top recruiters have been named among the top 20 underperformers. A graph containing data from Twenty First Group compared the two-year average ratings of all Premier League players and plotted it against their new nine-month ratings. The chart then shows how much money the player has been playing against various rankings, ranging from 'League Two Averages (300)' to 'Ballon d'Or Contenders (1000+)'.

CRAIG HOPE: Newcastle's first home loss of the season, according to Eddie Howe, they looked like a "elite team." The Magpies had only won once away from home in the Premier League this season, but they were still valuing for a 3-1 victory, owing to a double from Fabian Schar and Alex Moreno's own goal. Alexander Isak's withdrawal due to a groin injury was the only sour note, leaving Howe with no available strikers given Callum Wilson's current absence.

CHIEF SPORTS WRITER OLIVER PARK PAL HOLT AT VILLA PARK: Kieran Trippier almost went to Bayern Munich, but I'm not sure. Miguel Almiron was on the verge of joining Al-Shabab. Callum Wilson has been a member of Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United. Joelinton was expected to be close to a move as well. Fabian Schar was just about the only player not advertised for a transfer away from St James' Park in January's transfer window, but Unai Emery's high-flying Aston Villa explained why in this tremendous Newcastle United fire auction that never was. After the break, the Swiss defender scored twice in the first half and cleared off the line to bring new life to a season that had already begun to devolve into a miserable decline into the bottom half of the table.

Newcastle United are keen to avoid becoming like Everton and Nottingham Forest as they try to navigate their way through complex Financial Fair Play legislation, according to Craig Hope, who believes there is a sense of 'paranoia' over spending at St James Park. Despite facing a massive injury crisis this season and numerous areas to improve after a taxing season that saw them competing in four leagues, including the Champions League, the Magpies are yet to make a signing in the January transfer window. However, Newcastle has been 'hamstrung' by FFP rules as they attempt to avoid Premier League sanctions, despite being technically the world's richest club under the Public Investment Fund's support.

The Magpies are at their financial limits, and the manager admits it will be "impossible" to bring a player into the fold without one leaving this week. Talks regarding Miguel Almiron's transfer to Saudi club Al-Shebab continue, and there has been a lot of interest in striker Callum Wilson and defender Jamaal Lascelles. Howe would like to bring a midfielder on, but says his favorite is to keep his current squad together. The final say, on the other hand, is unlikely to be his when it comes to PSR issues.

SIMON JONES: West Ham are among the clubs, including Chelsea, who are tracking Newcastle's Callum Wilson, but talks have yet to develop. Chelsea is considering short-term solutions, but Napoli's Victor Osimhen should come first in the summer.

Miguel Almiron, who told Newcastle that he wanted to remain at St. James' Park, is expected to remain at the club this month. Mail Sport announced that the Magpies had held talks with Saudi Arabian side Al Shabab over a contract for the midfielder earlier this week. The Saudi Arabian club's approached Newcastle with a proposal for a permanent contract worth around £17 million, but expectations of an agreement were dismissed 'unlikely.'

The highly rated 18-year-old has excelled in City's academy, and the Magpies are now closing in on a new one. If the two sides agree to a contract, the adolescent is expected to have a medical at St James' Park in the coming days. Harrison has compared himself to City's star striker Erling Haaland for his appearance, as well as statistics and assists for the club's youth teams.

Since undergoing thigh surgery, Newcastle midfielder Joelinton will miss the bulk of the season, according to the club. During the Magpies' FA Cup win over Sunderland on January 6, the Brazilian was forced to leave. The 27-year-old had been expected to miss around six weeks, but the decision to now means the player will be out before May.

AC Milan is looking for a permanent solution for Newcastle striker Callum Wilson. Mail Sport understands that the Serie A club is keen on moving the England star to Italy, and that if an invitation was accepted, he would be open to talks. Wilson from Atletico Madrid has had a loan request turned down by Newcastle, who insists he will not be leaving St James' Park in January. However, if Milan were to present a permanent package at the right price, then there could possibly be movement.

SHARPE'S FINALE: With the European Championships coming up, the auditions are open for anyone playing second fiddle to England captain Harry Kane this summer. This weekend, two of the top candidates face off. Ivan Toney returned from his eight-month suspension on Saturday and scored Brentford's first goal in their 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest. He is the only one not named Harry Kane to score 20 goals in a Premier League season. Callum Wilson and Ollie Watkins, both searching for a spot in Germany's squad, are close, but never managed to do it.

Newcastle has turned down a loan request from Atletico Madrid's Callum Wilson, but the striker may be sold if the Spanish club return with a permanent deal. European clubs are looking to profit from Newcastle's financial hardship play predicament, in a move similar to Bayern Munich's approach for Kieran Trippier. They are currently at their three-year maximum and must offload players before they can buy.
