Callum Wilson has left Newcastle on a free transfer

Earlier on Monday, Newcastle confirmed Callum Wilson will depart the club this summer.

The 33-year-old signed for the Magpies from Bournemouth in a deal worth just over £19m in 2020 and went on to make 130 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 49 goals.

Speaking to the official club website in his official parting message to the Magpies, Wilson said: "It's time to say goodbye after an unbelievable few years in the Toon.

"Thank you for everything. We stood strong together through the highs and some lows to help the club experience new heights.

"I am so proud to have worn the iconic number 9 shirt and to have added a little more history to it. Scoring at the Gallowgate End really is as special as they say.

"All good things come to an end but there's no doubt Newcastle United will always have a place in mine and my families hearts. Thank you for the memories."
