# Newcastle United: Calvert-Lewin, Nunez and Schick on shortlist

**[Transfer insider Dean Jones](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesSoccer) has now revealed some exciting Newcastle United news involving three striker targets.**

### The Lowdown: New striker wanted?

Given recent links to the likes of [Memphis Depay](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/everton-transfer-news-depay-arsenal-premier-league/) and [Hugo Ekitike](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/reims-transfer-news-hugo-ekitike-premier-league/), it seems as if the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) consortium want to bring in another striker to St. James’ Park in the summer.

Chris Wood was bought from Burnley in the January transfer window, but has only managed [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/chris-wood/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/108725/plus/0?saison=&verein=762&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) goal in the North East so far, while Callum Wilson has been suffering from [injury problems](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/callum-wilson/verletzungen/spieler/123682) this season, and so bringing in another forward may be a smart bit of business.

### The Latest: Three options

When asked if the Tyneside outfit will bring in the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Patrick Schick or Darwin Nunez to play ahead of or with Wilson next term, Jones told [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/87992517-newcastle-have-three-man-shortlist-to-upgrade-on-20m-bruce-signing):

*“They’ll bring in somebody ahead of him as their go-to guy for goals. And, those three are all on the list.”*

### The Verdict: Exciting

It is certainly exciting for the Toon Army to be linked with all of these big-name players.

Calvert-Lewin is perhaps the one that they would be most familiar with, and if Everton get relegated from the Premier League, then he could become available on the cheap.

Nunez meanwhile is having a standout season at Benfica, as his recent goal in the UEFA Champions League against Liverpool was his [28th](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/darwin-nunez/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/546543/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in total over all competitions so far.

Schick is perhaps more well-known on the international stage, where he averages roughly a goal every two games for Czech Republic, as his five strikes in Euro 2020 helped them get to the quarter-final stage of the competition ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrik-schick/nationalmannschaft/spieler/242086)).

Nonetheless, even bringing in one of these elite finishers will elevate the quality in Eddie Howe’s squad for the next campaign.
