Wilson becomes the third highest payout paid through Newcastle by a player, Joelinton (40 million pounds from Hoffenheim in 2019) and Miguel Almiron (21 million pounds from Atlanta United in 2019).
“From the moment I knew Newcastle was interested, it was definitely something that attracted me,” Wilson told Newcastle’s official website.
“It’s a huge club with a wonderful history. Over the years they’ve had wonderful strikers, so if I can emulate some of what they’ve done, I’d like to try.
“I’m in my ability to play.As a striker, I think it’s vital to set long- and short-term goals, and I hope to achieve them.”
“With the players around me, I think we can achieve the goals we want as a team and I want to contribute to that.”
The 28-year-old striker, four times selected by England, is close to teaming up with his former teammate Ryan Fraser, who has reached an agreement to sign for Newcastle as a loose agent and must go through a medical examination.Monday.
The duo hold the Premier League’s record for maximum combinations of purposes (12) in a 38-game season, set in 2018/19.
