According to The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards, Newcastle are eyeing up summer moves for West Ham star Jarrod Bowen and Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
He reports that both have ‘featuring prominently’ in recent recruitment meetings, with the club prioritising the signing of a new right-winger and eyeing another striker able to replace Callum Wilson; who is expected to leave this summer.
Edwards reveals that Newcastle have a long-standing interest in Bowen, who is rated highly by Newcastle’s hierarchy and a player we’ve attempted to sign in previous windows, only for West Ham to issue a ‘not for sale’ response on each occasion.
The 27-year-old scored 20 times for the Hammers over 2023/24, also delivering 10 assists. It’s believed he and Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise are being discussed, although we are wary of Man Utd’s long-term interest in the Eagles star.
Calvert-Lewin is a strange one. The Telegraph report that we’ve been tracking the Toffees striker for two years, with the club’s recruitment team believing he would shine in a more attacking side.
Injuries are a concern, but the 6ft 2′ forward did play 38 games for Everton last season, scoring eight times in all competitions for Sean Dyche’s side.
