Richarlison's Tottenham Hotspur transfer could have knock on effect for Newcastle United

Newcastle United have long been linked with a move for Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin but Richarlison's £60million move to Tottenham Hotspur may scupper those plans. Frank Lampard's side survived with a game to spare last season, with Calvert-Lewin's injury woes playing a big part in their struggles last season.

Arsenal were also reportedly interested in the England international, but their approach for Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus would seemingly rule out a move for the Toffees forward. Everton's financial woes have been well documented and they could still cash in on Calvert-Lewin to ease any of those problems.

However, the £60million windfall from Richarlison's departure is likely to ease those issues for the meantime, making an approach for Calvert-Lewin that little bit harder. Speaking about speculation linking the England striker with a move away from Goodison Park last season, Lampard told the Mail: "He is a fantastic striker, the pedigree of striker that there aren't many around. It's been unfortunate for me, I think, that I haven't had him fit.
