Newcastle 'would love' £60m Premier League star at St James' Park

Newcastle United still have Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the top of their wishlist this summer at St James’ Park, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Eddie Howe is strengthening his side this summer ahead of the 2022-23 campaign and more money could still be spent before the September deadline passes. 

The Magpies have been busy this summer but not quite as busy as some may have suspected given their enormous financial assets.

But it seems likely that a lot more money will be spent on Howe’s side before the deadline passes. 

Attacking reinforcements appear to be next on the agenda. Despite signing Chris Wood in the January window, there appears to be a desire to upgrade in the position once again. 

Lucas Paqueta, Memphis Depay and Armando Broja have all been linked with moves to Newcastle this summer. 

But according to Jones, it is Calvert-Lewin who remains top of their wish-list this summer, with Everton valuing the forward at £60 million.

Jones reports that the 25-year-old remains the top choice among those in charge of Newcastle as new season closes in. 

But he also states that the opening bid could be crucial, with Everton already losing Richarlison only increasing the importance of Calvert-Lewin at Goodison Park. 

Jones told GIVEMESPORT: “Calvert-Lewin is still the guy that they would love to lead their attack. Obviously, we haven’t seen a an aggressive push to sign him at this point. I think they’re trying to get the kind of figures into place that might convince Everton to do business. They know they don’t want
