THE RACE IS ON: Multiple club’s chase Calvert Lewin’s signature as Everton exit Looms.
Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be leaving Goodison Park, with many clubs apparently interested in signing him, according to the Liverpool Echo. Everton’s financial woes may force the club to sell many players this summer, and Calvert-Lewin is one of numerous players whose current contracts are coming to an end.
Calvert-Lewin has four goals in his previous eight Premier League appearances for Everton, and as a result, several other clubs are interested in signing the in-form striker. Will Dominic Calvert-Lewin depart Everton this summer? Everton are bracing for a difficult and turbulent summer, with Calvert-Lewin only one of several players who might leave Goodison Park as financial problems persist.
Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey, and Abdoulaye Doucoure are all in the same boat as Calvert-Lewin, but with just the latter stating his desire to continue at Goodison Park, Toffees fans are left to wonder about the futures of players in their final year of contracts.
Calvert-Lewin, the club’s first-choice striker (when healthy) for several years, could be leaving, which comes as a surprise given that players like Jarrad Branthwaite and Amadou Onana have been linked with big-money deals elsewhere.
With no sign of the club’s takeover from 777 Partners changing anytime soon, Everton’s transfer policy appears to be sell-to-buy this summer, and if Sean Dyche wants to build a squad capable of avoiding another relegation battle, Calvert-Lewin’s contract situation may result in him wearing new club colours next season.
