Callum Wilson is determined to secure a spot in England’s Euros squad with his recent impressive performance, scoring a total of 10 goals this season.
Despite uncertainties surrounding his future at Newcastle after the summer, Wilson remains focused on showcasing his strength and sharpness on the field.
Having scored two goals in two consecutive games following his return from a pectoral muscle injury, Wilson is eager to make his mark at the upcoming major tournament.
Gareth Southgate observed as both him and Anthony Gordon dismantled Burnley on Saturday, prompting Toon manager Eddie Howe to describe Wilson as a formidable force when he sets his sights on a goal.
Wilson embodies the essence of a contemporary Alan Shearer for Newcastle, being a reliable scorer, possessing physicality, and exuding confidence within the penalty area.
However, the Toon faces a significant predicament this summer as Wilson nears the end of his contract. Should they strike a deal or not? Wilson is a valuable asset that could generate a substantial profit to alleviate financial constraints.
Nevertheless, finding a suitable replacement for Wilson will come at a high cost and entail certain risks. When questioned about his future at the club beyond the summer, Wilson understandably couldn’t provide a definitive response.
Eddie Howe is determined to keep him at the club for the upcoming season and will make every effort to secure his stay. Wilson expressed his focus on finishing the current season strongly and aiming to participate in the summer tournament, while also acknowledging his contract with Newcastle.
There seems to be no doubt in his mind regarding his future plans, despite potential interest from other clubs. This situation poses a challenging decision for the club owners as they work on restructuring the team under Howe’s leadership. Wilson’s primary goal remains maintaining Newcastle’s top six position and potentially competing in Germany.
