NUFC star Callum Wilson opens up on the one thing he can’t stand about Newcastle

Newcastle United talisman Callum Wilson has settled into life at St. James' Park seamlessly since his arrival on Tyneside in 2020.

The striker scored in his Magpies' debut and has bagged a further 17 goals for the club since, despite often battling with injury.

Most recently, Wilson picked up a worrying injury in Newcastle's clash with Manchester United on Monday.

When not on the pitch, the forward has been spending time recording a new podcast for BBC Sounds.

The show is called The Footballer's Football podcast and sees Wilson chat about all things football with West Ham striker Michail Antonio.

In a recent Christmas special, the duo played a game of Would You Rather? and the NUFC man ended up revealing what he couldn't stand about Newcastle.

The Hammers' man asked Wilson if he'd rather play in a heatwave or a snowstorm.

Wilson replied: "I would 100% rather play in a heatwave than a snowstorm.

"In the sunshine, sun is out blazing, catching a suntan.

"In the cold, playing in the North East, as soon as my toes and fingers get cold I don't want to know.

"As soon as my hands and toes get cold, I'm like, it's time to go in now.

"Living up north I've started to acclimatise a bit more, the lack of sunshine is evident."

Wilson also admitted that, despite "not really thinking" about a move away from St. James' Park, there would be two clubs he'd always have ambitions to play for.

He said: "I've never really thought about playing for any other club in the world.

"You'd want to play for Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two giants within football.

"For me, playing in the Champions League is something I still have one eye set on but the older and older I'm getting, the further away it's getting."

On the show, Wilson also picked playing alongside Diego Maradona over playing with Pele, and admitted he'd rather be in the bad books with a manager than his Ms.
