Newcastle boss Eddie Howe sees a big difference in Callum Wilson since their time at Bournemouth, in that the striker is now a dressing-room leader as well as a goalscorer.
It was interesting to note that the 29-year-old was elevated to captain in the absence of Jamaal Lascelles earlier this month.
Wilson also scored the only goal as the Magpies recorded their first win of the season at the 14th attempt against Burnley last weekend.
He has emerged as a senior voice since his £20million arrival last year and he recently spoke out about the team’s lack of fitness under previous boss Steve Bruce.
