Callum Wilson is set to take the No9 shirt at Newcastle United.

The Evening Chronicle says Newcastle have handed Wilson the number 9 shirt ahead of the new season - after getting full agreement from previous occupant Joelinton.

Wilson gets to emulate Alan Shearer, Andy Cole, Les Ferdinand and Wor Jackie to name a few of the famous names to wear the iconic jersey.

The Brazilian forward will now take number 7 for the new campaign, the shirt left vacant by Andy Carroll.

Much was made about Wilson's arrival when he took the number 13 last season and the club decided to stick with Joelinton as number 9.
