Callum Wilson has admitted he is looking forward to a change of tactics at Newcastle United after Steve Bruce's departure.

The English striker has been reunited with Eddie Howe, who managed him at Bournemouth.

Asked about Newcastle's tactics under Bruce, Wilson told the Chronicle: "No disrespect to anybody who has been in charge, we have been a lot further from the goal than we'd like to be.

"And opportunities were few and far between so you have to make sure you are focused and concentrated (when playing defensively).

"I've had to be ruthless when I have had an opportunity.

"I have been consistent on that front.

"Now there are going to be more opportunities coming our way.

"If you have that same mentality to make you are as clinical as possible then ultimately it will lead to more goals and you are going to be receiving the ball in better areas.

"And also the players will be in positions where they can chip in with goals and get assists from different positions from different areas of the pitch.

"It's going to be a team effort and obviously being a striker you are that focal point where people will look to you to score goals."
