Eddie Howe is thought to be keen to sign a 20-plus goal-a-season striker given Callum Wilson’s injury problems.

That said, reports state that early discussions have taken place with the striker’s representatives and Newcastle.

But Calvert-Lewin’s preference remains to join Arsenal over the Magpies with Everton willing to listen to offers for Calvert-Lewin.

Manager Frank Lampard is looking to raise cash in order to reshape his squad after Everton struggled in the Premier League and the sale of Calvert-Lewin would raise vital funds.
