Kieran Trippier has told Rio Ferdinand presents FIVE that Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson just ‘doesn’t shut up’ in training.

Newcastle are flying high under Eddie Howe and despite drawing a few too many games of late, they remain firmly in the running for a place in the top-four.

There’s a togetherness about this Newcastle squad under Howe and they have plenty to play for this season, with a League Cup final against Manchester United around the corner.

Trippier has been speaking about Newcastle’s upturn of form over the past few months and he was asked who gives him a hard time in training.

The 32-year-old named Wilson as the culprit and admitted that it’s hard to keep him quiet at Darsley Park.

Wilson joined the Magpies for a fee worth £20 million back in 2020 and he’s gone on to become a crucial player under Howe. 

The English striker is a popular figure in the Newcastle dressing room, but he’s clearly been giving Trippier a hard time recently. 

“I think Callum Wilson gives me a hard time every day. He’s just non-stop,” he said.

“He’s a bubbly guy, he doesn’t shut up, honestly. Every day! Great character.”

Wilson has proven himself to be a reliable goal scorer for Newcastle since joining from Bournemouth.

The 30-year-old faces added competition for his place in the side after the club brought in Alexander Isak over the summer.

But it’s clear that he will play a key role in the project at Newcastle over the coming seasons.

Wilson certainly seems like a bubbly character, especially off the back of his appearances on the weekly Footballer’s Football Podcast alongside West Ham United striker Michail Antonio.
