Newcastle hopes to sign a new striker this summer, regardless of Liverpool’s outcome and Arsenal’s interest in Alexander Isaac. Snabbed by Joao Pedro, they were now able to move for market opportunities.
Newcastle has been suffering from PSR problems in recent years, but this summer it hasn’t had any issues. The move is not complete yet, but there is hope that more than £100 million will be spent in the remaining week of the transfer period.
However, with Callum Wilson’s departure expected, they may avoid paying transfer fees in their bid to sign ISAK with a new backup striker.
Newcastle and Fulham compete for Dominic Calvert Lewin
According to Football Insider, Newcastle is one of the clubs ready to bolster Dominic Calver Trewin’s pursuit, which will become a free agent when Everton’s contract expires Tuesday. Fulham is also praised for his interest in the 28-year-old who has 57 Premier League goals in his career.
In addition to Newcastle and Fulham, it is expected that there will be clubs outside the Premier League who will consider moving in for Calvert Lewin, who announced over the weekend that they will not sign the New Deal in Everton. West Ham has also been in talks for the past few weeks, allowing many suitors to compete.
As a backup to Isaac, Newcastle could do much worse than signing Calver Trewin, but there are concerns about his injury record. In particular, consider that Wilson is not worthy of a reason to leave St. James’ park when his contract is gone.
For now, it is still unclear whether Calvert Lewin is heading for Newcastle or Fulham. He’s not an attractive signature for either club, but he might be very effective.
