Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s proposed move to Newcastle United is off.
The Magpies had been considering putting in a big bid for Calvert-Lewin to replace Callum Wilson.

However, they have pulled out as a result of the Toffees’ valuation of the player, according to ex-Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan.
He stated on talkSPORT: “Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a decent player, he had a decent season a while ago.
“If you can get £40million for him, that would be fantastic. If I was in (Everton boss Sean) Dyche’s shoes, I would want to sell him and his handbag.
“The reality of it is that I just don’t see him going to Newcastle. I mean, Callum Wilson is injured. Do you want to buy another player that carries that stigma all the time?”
