Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been linked to a potential exit from Goodison Park, with Newcastle United reportedly interested in signing the 27-year-old. According to Bryan King, a former Goodison scout, Newcastle will need to pay a hefty sum of £50million to secure Calvert-Lewin’s services.King believes that Calvert-Lewin would be a good fit for Newcastle, citing his ability to score goals even in a struggling team. However, he also notes that the striker won’t come cheap, as centre-forwards rarely do. King estimates that the total cost of the transfer, including all fees and add-ons, would be around £50million.
The news of Calvert-Lewin’s potential exit comes as no surprise, given Everton’s financial struggles. The Toffees have been linked to several player sales this summer, with Amadou Onana and Jarrad Branthwaite also rumored to be on their way out.
However, supporters will be hopeful that not all three players need to be sold, and of the three, Calvert-Lewin might be the most expendable.Despite his goal-scoring ability, Calvert-Lewin has not always been the most popular figure at Goodison Park. He is also older than Branthwaite and Onana, which might make him a more attractive sale for the club. If Everton can secure a good fee for Calvert-Lewin, it could be seen as a positive piece of business for the club.
The reported interest from Newcastle comes as no surprise, given the Magpies’ need for a striker. As reported by The Telegraph, Newcastle is pushing to sign Calvert-Lewin, with a fee still being negotiated between the two clubs. There is confidence that a deal can be struck, but it remains to be seen whether Newcastle will meet Everton’s valuation of the player.In other Everton news, the club has shared a takeover development at Goodison Park, which has delighted supporters.
