Newcastle’s SHOCKING Return to Chase DREAM Signing After £25M Flop Bid Last Summer – You WON’T Believe Who!
Strikers have dominated the conversation on Tyneside today, as Newcastle United await breakthroughs in deals for Anthony Elanga and James Trafford.
Callum Wilson has officially left the club after five years, leaving Alexander Isak and Will Osula as the only senior centre forwards in the squad.
That departure raises a key question—will the Magpies now target a versatile attacker or opt for a traditional number nine to replace Wilson?
According to talkSPORT, the latter may be the case. The outlet reports that Newcastle have reopened talks with Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Their chief football correspondent, Alex Crook, states that Eddie Howe remains a long-time admirer of the 28-year-old, who is now a free agent following his exit from Everton.
Manchester United are also said to be in the running, with the Red Devils exploring experienced options up front.
Meanwhile, a newly promoted club had shown interest in Calvert-Lewin but were priced out due to his wage demands.
Newcastle’s interest in the former Everton man goes back to the early days of the Saudi-led takeover.
The Telegraph previously revealed that the Magpies tabled a £25 million bid for Calvert-Lewin just last summer.
However, talks reportedly broke down as Everton demanded £40 million and negotiations over a potential part-exchange involving Yankuba Minteh also failed to materialise.
With Wilson gone and striker options thin, the club’s next move in the transfer market will be pivotal in shaping their attacking line for the season ahead.
