Newcastle now plotting move to sign £22m player who already agreed to join them in 2020

Newcastle are now planning a move to sign a player who actually agreed to join the Magpies back in January 2020.

Despite a strong end to the 20🌜23/24 campaign, which saw the Magpies win six and draw two of their final ten Pr𒉰emier League outings, last season still technically saw Newcastle go backwards.

Eddie Howe‘s side finished seventh on 60ﷺ points – three places and 11 points worse off in comparison to the 2022/23 campaign – although injuries hit the Magpies hard.

As such, Newcastle understandably want to boꦦlster their squad, with a double deal now on the agenda…

Newcastle want Jarrod Bowen and Dominic Calvert-Lewin

A story from the now claims that Newcastle want to sign West Ham No.20 Jarrod Bowen and Everton No.9 Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer.

It is said that Newcastle previously made several✨ attempts to sign the England international from West Ham, although the east Londoners have continuously rejected enquiries.

Iꦿnterestingly, the Telegraph also add that Bowen actually agreed to join Newcastle back in January 2020, although Mike Ashley could not stump up the £22m asking price, a fee West Ham later paid.

The 27-year-old has since become one of the best forwards in England, scoring 20 goals while also p꧃roviding ten assists in 44 appearances across all competitionꦺs last season.

In regards to Calvert-Lewin, the Telegraph explain that any move for the Eve🔯rton talisman hinges on Callum Wi🅺lson being sold, although the recruitment team on Tyneside strongly believe Howe can get the best out of the 27-year-old if a deal materialises.

The Sheffield-born striker scored just🐲 seven goals in 3💛2 Premier League appearances last season.

Eddie Howe has big plans

Strengthening the attacking department at Newcastle is not al𓃲l Howe wants to do this summer.

The 46-year-old is also keen to sign a new goalkeeper to compete with Nick ✅Pope, and there is strong interest in a deal for Arsenal No.1 Aaron Ram꧑sdale.

Sources recently informed TBR Football that Newcastle are ready to accelerate their pursu♕it of the Englandඣ international, and the Gunners are ready to let him depart.

Therefore, if H🦂owe gets his way, a number of England int🌜ernationals could arrive at St James’ Park this summer.
