Newcastle have held talks with the management team of Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Football Insider reports Newcastle have held 'preliminary talks' with Calvert-Lewin's camp over a potential summer transfer.

The Everton forward was linked with the Magpies earlier this week, with the Telegraph claiming the 25-year-old has been made a 'priority target'.

It's now emerged Calvert-Lewin has held talks with Eddie Howe's side, but states the striker's preference as joining Arsenal.

The Gunners see the England striker as a potential replacement for Alexandre Lacazette as his contract runs down.
