Dominic Calvert-Lewin will have options to stay in the Premier League next season after his Everton exit, sources have told Football Insider.
Newcastle and Fulham are among the teams ready to step up talks and advance their interest over the next few weeks – with both clubs in the market for a new striker this summer.
Calvert-Lewin has confirmed he would be leaving Everton at the expiration of his contract, after nine years at Goodison Park.
It is believed the 28-year-old will have offers from clubs abroad, as well as those in the Premier League.

Calvert-Lewin expected to be in demand
Calvert-Lewin has shown throughout his Toffees career that when he is on form, he is a handful for some of the best defenders in the world.
The England international scored 71 times during his 273 appearances in all competitions for the Merseyside club, including the goal which saved them from Premier League relegation in 2022.

There will be no shortage of suitors for the forward, who has scored as many as 16 top-flight goals in a single campaign before.
However, Calvert-Lewin has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, and any buying club will be wary of his patchy fitness record.
Last season, the centre-forward started just 19 Premier League games for Everton, and only managed three goals.
