Newcastle United are interested in signing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Newcastle United are prepared to make a move for 28-year-old Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin. However, they are looking to assess his injury problems before committing to a move.
The English striker has had persistent injury problems in recent seasons, and it will be interesting to see if he can convince Newcastle United that he is over his injury nightmare. Calvret-Lewin is out of contract in the summer, and he has decided not to sign an extension with Everton. He could prove to be a useful acquisition for Newcastle this summer if they further their long-term interest.
The Tyneside outfit need to find a quality alternative to Callum Wilson, who has suffered from persistent injury problems as well. The 28-year-old England international could support Alexander Isak in the final third. Dominic Calvert-Lewin will want to compete at a high level, and Newcastle United might be able to provide him with Champions League football next season.
They are currently pushing for a top-five finish. They have managed to win the EFL Cup this season as well. They are certainly an ambitious club with an exciting project. They have a talented squad as well. The Everton striker could be tempted to join them if the opportunity presents itself.
West Ham want Calvert-Lewin as well
Meanwhile, Everton will face competition from West Ham United for Dominic Calvert-Lewin. They are looking to bring in a quality striker as well. The Hammers have looked toothless in the final third this season. Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug has been a failure, and West Ham are looking at Jonathan David from LOSC Lille as well. It will be interesting to see who they end up with.
Signing the 28-year-old Everton striker in a Bosman move would represent a major coup for both clubs. The player has previously shown his quality in the Premier League consistently, and even though he has not been at his best in recent seasons, it would be a no-risk signing on a free transfer. If Calvert-Lewin manages to get back to his best, the deal could look like a major bargain.
