Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin transfer update emerges amid Newcastle pursuit
Newcastle may return to the table for Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin with Manchester United also keen on a new number nine, according to the Liverpool Echo.
The news outlet reported on 7 August that despite talks breaking down with the Magpies in recent weeks, there's always a chance that they make another attempt to sign the England international.
Manchester United are also keen on a new forward amid Rasmus Hojund's recent injury.
Everton must retain Dominic Calvert-Lewin's services
The Toffees must retain the 27-year-old's services as his ability to find the back of the net and hold up play is crucial for the team.
Losing Calvert-Lewin would leave a significant void in their attacking lineup, and finding a suitable replacement would be an expensive and challenging task.
His aerial ability and physical presence make him a constant threat in the opposition box and his work rate and commitment to the cause make him a popular figure among Evertonians.
Moreover, Calvert-Lewin has been at the club for nearly a decade so he understands the club's culture and values, and his passion for the shirt is evident in every performance.
Losing such a player would not only be a blow to the team's on-field capabilities but also to the club's identity and connection with its supporters.
It will also be expensive to find a replacement, particularly if Kevin Thelwell does not have targets lined up.
