Eddie Howe sent "world-class" Newcastle transfer advice as three targets emerge

Former Newcastle and Liverpool defender Jose Enrique believes that the Magpies should look to sign three of the Premier League players they have been linked with recently.

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is reportedly a target for Eddie Howe’s side, who struggled for goals last term. Top scorer Callum Wilson missed over half of the 2021/22 season due to injury, while Chris Wood only scored twice in 17 appearances after completing a £25million move from Burnley.

In an interview with bettingexpert, Enrique claimed that if Calvert-Lewin can stay fit, he can be a world-class striker after scoring just five league goals during an injury hit 2021/22 campaign.

“I believe they should bring in a world-class striker. Even if they have Callum Wilson and Chris Wood,” said Enrique. “It depends on Eddie on what he sees every day in training. They were talking about (Dominic) Calvert-Lewin. I really, really like Calvert-Lewin.

“Same thing again, he had big problems with injuries this season so I’m not sure if Newcastle will sign him but obviously Eddie knows him well. Calvert-Lewin, he will be a great signing for them, if he can stay fit. I believe he can be a great signing.”

“I was actually talking about this on Instagram and Newcastle supporters said ‘we have Chris Wood and Callum Wilson already, I don’t think he can add anything to that.’ I think he can.
