Everton ‘plot’ striker talks in bid to fend off Newcastle United transfer interest
Everton are reportedly set to offer striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin a new contract in order to fend off transfer interest in the striker this summer. The 27-year-old has just over a year left on his current deal with the Toffees and could be someone they are forced to cash-in on this summer if an agreement cannot be reached.
Calvert-Lewin scored eight goals in all competitions for Everton last season, including a penalty against the Magpies at St James’ Park back in April – one that denied Eddie Howe’s side all three points on that occasion. The Athletic report that Everton are keen to keep hold of his services and are preparing talks with him and his representatives over a new deal that will keep him at the club.
