AliousSunderland Now Eyeing Long-Time Premier League Striker After Shock Everton Exit
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s nine-year stay at Everton has officially come to an end, and while speculation once tied him endlessly to Newcastle United, it’s newly-promoted Sunderland now being linked with the striker.
Under Eddie Howe, Newcastle were repeatedly reported to view Calvert-Lewin as a potential solution to their attacking issues, especially during periods when Callum Wilson was sidelined or before Alexander Isak’s arrival.
Yet, many Newcastle fans were skeptical, seeing the 27-year-old as an injury-prone downgrade on Wilson, despite his spells of form at Goodison Park.
Now, with Calvert-Lewin available on a free transfer, Sunderland are reportedly interested in securing his signature, according to *Newcastle World*.
The Black Cats are looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of their Premier League return, and Calvert-Lewin’s top-flight experience could be exactly what Regis Le Bris needs to balance an otherwise youthful squad.
Despite his injury history, Calvert-Lewin’s presence would be a major boost for Sunderland’s frontline.
Whether he can remain fit and rediscover his scoring touch remains to be seen—but if he does, it could prove to be a shrewd piece of business.
While the signing alone may not guarantee Premier League survival, it could be a mutually beneficial move for Sunderland, Calvert-Lewin, and even Newcastle, who can finally close the door on a long-speculated but never-materialized transfer.
