Newcastle are ready to test Everton’s resolve to keep their star England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The north east club have identified the 25-year-old as the perfect man to lead their revolution under new Saudi owners. And they have the cash to back up their pursuit, with new sporting director Dan Ashworth set to hit the ground running with a war chest to bring in new players.
Boss Eddie Howe wants a mobile target man who can score goals, and a fit Calvert-Lewin has proven he can deliver them, becoming an integral part of England’s Euros squad after a stellar 2020-21 season when scoring 25 goals. With Manchester United and Arsenal also expressing an interest in the player, Everton are braced for offers, with the striker understood to be open to a move after a disappointing campaign this time around which was blighted by injury.
