Newcastle boss Eddie Howe feels Callum Wilson is in career best form.

Wilson, who also played for Howe at Bournemouth, has eight goals in the last six games.

"The season he was in the Championship with us, my first season with him at Bournemouth, I thought he was electric," said Howe.

"But this is at the very highest level, this is against the best defenders in the world and the best teams in the world, and he's performing at probably the best level I've ever seen him at.

"I complimented him [after the Brighton game], not in terms of the goal he scored, but just his intelligence on the press for us. He's the one who has to set the chain off and he has to get it right. If he gets it wrong, the whole team suffers. His tactical understanding was as good as I've seen."
