The Magpies are in the market for a striker after Callum Wilson recently turned down a new deal to stay at the club. Calvert-Lewin, 28, left Everton when his contract expired last month after a nine-year stay at Goodison Park. Eddie Howe and Newcastle are keen to add to their depth up front to ease some of the goal scoring burden on Alexander Isak, particularly with Champions League football next season. According to talk SPORT, Newcastle have been long-time admirers of Calvert-Lewin having made an approach to buy him last summer only to walk away when the cost of the deal became prohibitive. Calvert-Lewin is reportedly a target for Manchester United and Leeds, although the newly-promoted Premier League side are believed to have stepped back due to wage demands.
