What Dominic Calvert-Lewin said only hours ago as Newcastle United ‘plot’ transfer swoop

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been linked with a summer transfer to Newcastle United.

According to the Telegraph, the Magpies are interested in the striker as a potential replacement for Callum Wilson,

who is expected to leave. Calvert-Lewin is claimed to be’much respected’ by Newcastle’s recruitment squad,

who believe he has the potential to flourish under Eddie Howe.

Calvert-Lewin had a fairly injury-free 2023-24 season following fitness difficulties in the previous two seasons,

scoring eight goals in 38 appearances. Four of his goals came in his last seven appearances,

including a penalty that earned Everton a 1-1 draw with Newcastle at St James’ Park.

The 27-year-old has one year left on his Goodison Park contract.

Furthermore, Everton’s director of football, Kevin Thelwell,

has conceded that the club will need to sell during the summer window to assist ease its perilous financial condition.

Calvert-Lewin has frequently expressed his admiration for Everton,

including in the match-day programme before the club’s final home game of the season,

a 1-0 triumph against Sheffield United. He stated, “fans talk about the necessity of embodying the spirit of the club,

and I feel like I’ve done that organically throughout the years, knowing how much it means to fans.

“Because I take such pride in my role and wearing Everton’s No.9 shirt,

there have been times when I’ve been just as angry as them.

I don’t mind being upfront about it because I feel the same way everyone else does throughout the highs and lows.

I am simply human.

“In the end, the ans want to see themselves reflected on the pitch.

They want to watch a player give their all and, in my case, score goals.

It’s part of the job; people look to me to provide huge moments and win games.

I adore that. I like the phrase ‘He’s doing the business for us’.

When the question is, ‘Who’s going to produce for us?‘that’s what I live for.
