Newcastle Transfer News
Newcastle are not looking for a replacement for Alexander Isak but they are looking for another goalscorer to come into the picture for next season.
Callum Wilson is expected to leave and Calvert-Lewin fits the bill in terms of how boss Eddie Howe would prefer to build the depth of his squad for next season.
Newcastle are looking for more Premier League experience as they move towards next season and Howe is in search of players he can trust across various positions that need filling.
They have been closing in on defenders Lloyd Kelly and Tosin Adarabioyo and also have an eye on Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale.
Sources insist that Calvert-Lewin is a name on their list of targets and he has been on the radar since the back-end of last year. They could now look into a deal for the striker, who has one year remaining on his contract at Everton
The Toffees need to sell one of their star assets this summer and would prefer to offload Amadou Onana than Calvert-Lewin or keeper Jordan Pickford.
Newcastle are looking to refresh the squad and also want to bring in a right-sided attacker for next season, with Jarrod Bowen also linked.
Sources believe it will prove very difficult to get him out of West Ham, though.
