Callum Wilson happy penning new contract with Newcastle

Callum Wilson has signed a new contract with Newcastle United.

The striker, 31, has signed a deal to 2025.

"I've been welcomed ever since I came through the door," said Wilson.

"Now the club's going in a fantastic direction and on a journey, so it's nice to commit my future to being a part of that.

"We've got some great things to look forward to and I think being around here - the city, the fan base - is what players dream of, so I can't wait to be around for the next few years."

Wilson has scored twice so far this season.

"We're very pleased because Callum has been an integral part of our success," said Magpies boss Eddie Howe, who also managed Wilson at Bournemouth.

"He's an outstanding person, an outstanding footballer and I'm delighted he's going to be with us for longer.

"He's an incredibly motivated person and I've never seen Callum not motivated to score goals. I think that's a great thing for a striker."
