      by

      He has also become a regular in Gareth Southgate’s England squads since being selected for the World Cup.
      But his rise has added some annoying elements to his life – including having to change his phone number due to pestering fans.
      Wilson was discussing the issue on Jill Scott’s Coffee Club alongside England and Newcastle team-mate Kieran Trippier.
      He told ex-Lioness Scott: “I actually changed my number – I’m serious.

      “I had so many people coming out of the woodwork and I thought ‘How have you even got my number? I’ve not spoke to you for five years, now you’re asking for tickets for the game’.
      “I had fans somehow calling me as well, so it was like ‘I have to change this number’. Fans trying to FaceTime me and stuff.”
      When Scott then pressed Wilson about how fans would have obtained his number, he continued: “It must be.. You know when you have a parcel and you get stuff delivered to the club – your Amazons and things like that – you have to put your number on there sometimes don’t you.
      “And the delivery people, they actually write messages on my box like ‘Great goal at the weekend’ or like ‘Sunderland til I die’.

      Sunderland-born Scott, 36, then hilariously joked: “It’s me delivering your parcels. Now I’ve retired, I had to get a new job.”
      Meanwhile, Wilson, who has bagged two goals in eight appearances for his country, is preparing to play in the Champions League for the first time in his career.
      Eddie Howe’s men finished fourth in the Premier League last season, qualifying for Europe’s premier competition for the first time since 2003.
      And they have already bolstered their squad after agreeing a deal for AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali.
      Newcastle’s first league game of the campaign comes at home to Aston Villa on August 12. More

      Kyogo opens up on Celtic transfer exit as striker admits ‘no one knows the future’

      HOOPS forward Kyogo has remained tight-lipped over his Parkhead future. The Celtic striker has been linked with various Premier League clubs in recent months including Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham.

      Kyogo has spoken out about the transfer interest coming his way though and insists he hopes to continue playing with the Scottish champions for years to come.
      But the Japanese international admits “no one knows the future” amid all the ongoing speculation.
      The 28-year-old also responded to the various Scottish Premiership critics too.
      Japan head coach Hajime Moriyasu blamed the standard of the Scottish top flight as his reason for not calling the striker and his fellow Hoops team-mates for international duty.

      Daizen Maeda has been a regular in the side and starred at the World Cup but others have missed out in recent selections.
      Kyogo scored on his return to the team last month though after being called up for their double header against El Salvador and Peru.
      Writing for Japanese outlet Sponichi, the forward said: “As I keep scoring goals and Celtic continues to win.
      “I’ve heard that news was released in Japan that the level of Scottish Premiership is recognised as ‘not high’. Certainly, top teams play very good football, but Celtic also had a lot of tough games.
      Most read in Football
      “It’s natural for various people to have various opinions. But on the contrary, it means that people are paying attention to my play and Celtic, so I think it positively.
      “I actually have valuable experiences at Celtic, and Celtic is the club with great history.
      “There are many players who want to play here for as long as possible, including me.
      “But no one knows the future. Players may be injured or are transferred. And some players may be retiring.
      “I never know about my future, so I just want to enjoy every moment at Celtic.
      “But I still have room for development. I want to be a player who can score more goals.
      “I will continue to work hard next season so that I can become a more powerful player.”

      Man Utd fans beg ‘Jesus, bring me De Gea please’ as footage emerges of goalkeeper transfer target’s hilarious blunder

      by

      But fans have their doubts over his signing after watching a clip of the Dutch international on social media.
      In the video Bijlow almost scored an own goal while trying to pass the ball out from the back, with only the goalpost sparing his blushes.
      Erik ten Hag has been keen to bring in a keeper who is adept with the ball at his feet, and therefore an upgrade on David de Gea.
      But some supporters would rather stick with the Spaniard, whose United contract expired on Friday.

      He impressed fans with his performance and shocked with his ability to play a holding midfield role, having been a winger during his time at United.
      Gomes also performed well in England U21s’ victories against the Czech Republic and Israel in the group stage.
      His form has sparked a reaction from United fans who have called on the club to bring Gomes back to Old Trafford.
      One fan said: “LOOOOL Only Man Utd can give Scott McTominay years and years but other talented midfielders don’t get a look in.

      “Angel Gomes is over there cutting Portugal up for fun.”
      Another added: “If I’m Man Utd sporting director I’m looking to bring back Angel Gomes he’s a baller‼️”
      A third wrote: “Angel Gomes as a deep playmaker is special.”
      And another commented: “After coming through as a tricky winger, a transition to a holding midfielder was not something I saw for Angel Gomes but he’s putting on clinic after clinic in this tournament.

      “If Manchester United have a buy-back clause he would definitely solve some of their problems.”
      United do not possess a buy-back clause as Gomes departed on a free transfer in 2020 after failing to agree a new contract.
      Gomes joined Lille and has since made 69 appearances for the club, and explained he left to get out of his comfort zone.
      He said: “I don’t think the opportunity came too quickly at Manchester United.
      “Things come when you deserve them. I achieved good things when I was at Manchester United, which I will remember all my life.
      “I don’t think it was rushed, but sometimes there are decisions to be made and you have to know how to get out of your comfort zone.” More

      Some, such as Eric Bailly and Alex Telles, may not be around for long after they were loaned out to Marseille and Sevilla respectively last season.
      The Red Devils could look to cash in on the pair who are surplus to requirements, though finding willing suitors could prove tricky.
      There are also several young players who could depart on loan once again – Shola Shoretire and Charlie McNeill both joined EFL clubs on a temporary basis last season.
      But Amad Diallo, who had a successful loan at Sunderland last season, will be welcomed back into the first-team set-up, according to Manchester Evening News.

      Greenwood is still on the books at United, despite being suspended.
      The club is yet to make a decision on his future and is still to complete an internal investigation.
      It is unlikely the Red Devils will try to sell him during the current transfer window.

      United are said to have had contact with Italian teams Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan about a move.
      He has also reportedly been offered a football lifeline by his former boss Jose Mourinho at Roma.
      Reds boss Erik ten Hag and most first team players are said to be willing to give Greenwood another chance.
