Darren Bent has said on Twitter that Callum Wilson is a good signing for Newcastle United, but he has raised doubts on Everton newboy James Rodriguez.

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland striker believes that Wilson is a very good signing for Newcastle, but the talkSPORT pundit has questioned whether James can be a success in the Premier League.

As reported by The Guardian, the Magpies have signed England international striker Wilson from Bournemouth for £20 million.

Everton have secured the services of Colombia international James – who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger – from Real Madrid for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £22 million.

Staying positive

Wilson is a good striker who will make Newcastle better and could score a lot of goals if played to his strength.

True, James has not played in the Premier League before, but that does not mean that he will not be a success at Everton.

The Colombian has played for massive clubs such as FC Porto, Madrid and Bayern Munich, and he has arrived at Goodison Park with a huge pedigree and as a serial winner.
