There were previous rumors that Calvert-Lewin might join Newcastle United last summer, but the deal did not progress. However, manager Eddie Howe now sees him as a suitable target. Calvert-Lewin has a proven track record as a goal scorer in the Premier League, which makes him an attractive option for Newcastle United.

Calvert-Lewin is not the only striker that Newcastle United is interested in. The club was also considering other options, such as Joao Pedro and Jonothan David. However, Chelsea and Juventus respectively secured the signing of these players before Newcastle United could.

With reports suggesting that striker Alexander Isak might leave the team and Callum Wilson's future still uncertain, it is essential for manager Eddie Howe to bring in a strong attacker before the start of the new season. Calvert-Lewin's ability to score goals and his cost-effective nature make him an appealing option for Newcastle United.
