According to The Telegraph, Newcastle United are ‘pushing ahead’ with a deal to sign Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Luke Edwards report that the club have been keen on the 27-year-old since the summer of 2021 and are keen to bring in attacking options to compete with Alexander Isak, with Callum Wilson expected to depart.
The piece states that Calvert-Lewin is keen on a move to Tyneside and could ignore any contract offer from Goodison Park in a bid to push through a move to St James’ Park, with Newcastle in ‘pole position’ to seal a deal.
A fee is yet to be agreed, but talks are advancing and it’s believed there is ‘confidence’ a deal will be struck, with Eddie Howe believing the target man would score more goals in his attack-minded Newcastle side after eight last season on Merseyside.
The Telegraph also report that a host of offers are being reluctantly considered for Yankuba Minteh, who has been linked with Roma, Marseille, Everton and Borussia Dortmund this week. It’s believed Newcastle may have to sell before anyone else can sign, suggesting our hands may be tied at present from a PSR perspective.
