Newcastle United's recent 2-0 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest is not the only reason for optimism at St James' Park. The team has appointed a new sporting director, Ross Wilson, who joins from Nottingham Forest.
Wilson, who previously held the same position at Rangers, played a key role in Forest's success last season, which included clinching European football. He will aim to replicate this success at Newcastle.
Wilson will have a big role to play in how Newcastle assert their dominance in transfer windows moving forward.
