Newcastle United Eyes Dominic Calvert-Lewin Amidst Concerns from Eddie Howe

Newcastle upon Tyne, UK – Newcastle United is in negotiations with Everton for the potential summer transfer of forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin. This comes as Newcastle manager Eddie Howe expressed concerns about the financial implications of replacing striker Callum Wilson.

Wilson’s departure is not confirmed, but several clubs have shown interest in him, which has prompted Newcastle to seek additional attacking talent. Calvert-Lewin, currently in the final year of his contract with Everton, could potentially be available for £37 million. Howe is wary of this amount due to Calvert-Lewin’s injury record and the club’s Financial Fair Play implications.

The forward featured in 38 matches last season, scoring eight goals. Despite this, the transfer fee is viewed with caution by Newcastle’s board.
