The ‘9’ that Newcastle United wants

The Newcastle united, recently acquired by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, promises to be one of the great animators of the transfer market in 2022. The English team, which has become the club with the largest soccer capital on the planet, would have already chosen who it wants to be its ‘9’ in the near future according to the ‘Daily Telegraph‘.

The main candidate to reinforce the lead of the ‘magpies’ is Dominic Calvert-Lewin (24 years), the ‘9’ of the Everton from Rafa Benitez. Formed in the lower categories of Sheffield United, the tall English battering ram (1.89m) exploded two seasons ago at the hands of Carlo Ancelotti, current technician of the Real Madrid.

He debuted with a goal for England

After scoring 13 goals in the Premier League 2018-19, Calvert-Lewin was called up for the first time with the English national team in October 2020, debuting with a goal in a friendly against Welsh (3-0). Gareth southgate also included him in the final list for the last Eurocup after he broke his personal goal-best in a campaign with 21 goals in all competitions, six more than he scored in 2019-29.

Related to other greats of England like Arsenal, Manchester City or Manchester United, Calvert-Lewin has a market value of 45 million euros according to ‘Transfermarkt’ and it does not seem that the Everton will let you go easily, as it is a key piece in the schemes of Benitez.
