Newcastle United have reportedly been joined by AC Milan in the race to sign Sheffield United academy graduate Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton.
The 27-year-old was heavily linked with a move away from Everton in the summer, with Newcastle and Manchester United among those credited with interest.
Reports of interest from the Magpies have persisted, with reports indicating he could potentially be signed to soften the blow of an Alexander Isak departure.
While Milan are believed to be keen, it is believed Everton are doing everything they can to tie Calvert-Lewin down to a new deal.
His current contract expires at the end of the season, meaning he could depart Merseyside on a free transfer.
He first arrived at Everton in in 2016, joining the Toffees for a reported £1.5m after showing promise as a teenager at Sheffield United.
The 27-year-old has since amassed 259 appearances for the club, scoring 70 goals and registering 19 assists.
