And Bellingham prompty responded by guessing correctly: “Is it Callum Wilson?”
Wilson’s former Coventry City team-mate Maddison was then quick to hit-back at Wilson’s stats, by stating: “80 pace? He’s much quicker than that, he’s a runner.”
Bellingham also went on to question Wilson’s rating.

“What they’re saying is that they should pump him up there to make him an 82. He should have these [stats] higher or that [82 overall lower].”
Wilson has the joint sixth highest rating of any Newcastle player in EA FC 24, behind Sandro Tonali (86), Kieran Trippier (85), Bruno Guimaraes (84), Nick Pope (84) and Sven Botman (83).
