Newcastle United are now eyeing another summer signing at the other end of the pitch having already acquired Lloyd Kelly.
The top end of the pitch for Newcastle may be one of the main priorities for Eddie Howe this summer.
Callum Wilson‘s future at the club may remain a talking point with the striker having received reported interest from the likes of Saudi Arabia already.
One man Newcastle will be keen to keep around this summer is Alexander Isak with the Sweden international enjoying his second campaign in England.
Interest has grown in the Newcastle talisman but TBR Football understands the Toon are keen to tie Isak down to a new deal this summer.
However, it seems as if Newcastle may be keen to add to the striker from Sweden this summer as they are now pushing along with a deal to sign another forward.
Newcastle ‘pushing’ deal along for Premier League striker
Newcastle got their summer window up and running with the free signing of Lloyd Kelly – a player who Howe is very familiar with.
And it seems as if the Toon want to keep the shrewd business going this summer with the signing of a striker who has now racked up 213 appearances in the Premier League.
Exits are still going to be needed over the coming weeks at St James’ Park but this is not distracting Newcastle from bolstering their squad after their seventh-placed finish.
According to The Telegraph, Newcastle are now pushing to secure the services of Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer.
The Magpies are said to have held a long-standing interest in the former England international for some time now.
Calvert-Lewin only has one year remaining on his deal at Goodison Park which may make a deal more accessible for Howe and co.
Although a fee is still said to being discussed between the two sides, Luke Edwards has said there is confidence a deal will be struck.
What Pep Guardiola said about Dominic Calvert Lewin
Calvert-Lewin is another player – like Wilson – who has had his issues in recent years when it comes to injuries.
However, he has shown in the past – also like Wilson – just what he is capable of providing in the Premier League.
And he has earned some considerable praise from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola in the past who hailed him one of the best headers of the ball.
“Calvert-Lewin is one of the best headers I have ever seen in jumping and flicking the ball,” Guardiola told the Liverpool Echo back in 2019.
Clearly, his injury record will concern a lot of fans, but it is a gamble which it seems Newcastle are keen to take this summer.
