Newcastle United are reportedly considering onboarding Everton attacker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was previously linked with Premier League clubs Manchester United and Chelsea.
The Toffees striker has been unfortunate with injuries but is now appearing consistently for his club. This season, he has bagged four goals from 11 appearances across all competitions for the Merseysiders.
However, in the 2022/23 campaign, Calvert-Lewin missed 17 matches due to hamstring and knee problems. Despite his fitness concerns, TeamTalk claim that the Magpies wish to sign the striker on a loan deal in January.
The England international's contract at Everton runs out in the summer of 2025. Despite his club's willingness to offer a new deal, Calvert-Lewin may refuse after Everton were handed a 10-point deduction in the league and will now battle relegation this season.
At St.James' Park, Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson have shared responsibilities in leading the line for Eddie Howe. However, concerns loom over the fitness of both players, who are injury-prone.
Given these circumstances, the aforementioned report claims that Howe and Co. wish to bring in two new forwards in the near future. Calvert-Lewin, although has faced his fair share of troubles with fitness, is a proven goalscorer in the English top-flight.
In his senior career, the 26-year-old striker has made 190 Premier League appearances and bagged 50 goals to go with 16 assists.
Newcastle United prepare for Chelsea challenge after international break
