Callum Wilson Foresees Newcastle’s Continued Advancement Through Proper Investment

Having completed the season in explosive form, Newcastle United striker, Callum Wilson has tipped the club for more success, provided they keep investing in the right way and become a top-four team more regularly.

The 31-year-old striker said this in an interview session in England’s training session, as the Three Lions intensify their preparation for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta on Friday and North Macedonia at Old Trafford on Monday

He said: “It shows where the club has got to with a few new good players around us. Now it is only going to get better if we keep investing in the right way and become a top-four team more regularly.”

Speaking about how he managed his frustration after things weren’t going his way, he added: “You’re still on the bench and you become frustrated. “You have conversations with the manager but the message was: ‘Keep going. Use that fire in the belly to elevate yourself and your performances.’

“You have England that is being taken away and your club position that is being taken away – it was a double whammy. It feels like everything around you is falling down. You have to have a good look at yourself.

“Sometimes, you have to delve back [into your past] – think of difficult times and then keep that fire, hunger and desire. I’ve always been laid back and used that when necessary. When I was younger, I did kick-boxing and you understand that in the ring you are a totally different person, you cannot do that on the streets. It has always been controlled and disciplined.”
