Arsenal and Chelsea are both interested in Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with Everton at risk of having to sell the striker for a cut-price fee.
Calvert-Lewin joined Everton in August 2016 when the Toffees paid Sheffield United £1.5million for his services. Since then, the centre-forward has amassed a record of 68 goals and 18 assists in 249 games for Everton across all competitions.
Calvert-Lewin’s best season came in the 2020-21 campaign, when he managed 21 goals in 39 matches. That included 16 strikes in 33 Premier League appearances as the England star took his game to the next level.
Calvert-Lewin had two injury-hit seasons after that, but he is now back to full fitness and looking to get amongst the goals once again. The 27-year-old is viewed as someone who can be a very good goalscorer and cause opposition centre-backs all sorts of problems when fit for a full season.
With Calvert-Lewin’s current terms due to expire in June 2025, Everton have sent the player’s camp several contract offers. However, all of these approaches have been rebuffed.
Calvert-Lewin knows that by refusing to pen a new deal he has put himself in a strong position to secure a big move.
