‘He has everything you need’: Klopp raves about Ancelotti favourite ahead of Everton v Liverpool
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has waxed lyrical about Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of Saturday’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
The 23-year-old is in incredible form at present, having registered nine goals – including two hat-tricks – from just six Toffees games this season.
Calvert-Lewin’s efforts have helped Everton to the top of the Premier League table and into the League Cup quarter-finals.
As if that wasn’t enough, the 6ft 2in sharpshooter was also called up to the England squad this month and won his first three caps, even netting on his debut against Wales.
“Calvert-Lewin, I really expected him to make big steps in the next few years and he did,” Klopp told .
“He has everything you need in a top striker: size, mobility, speed, desire, technically really, really good, in the air, finishing with his head, both feet.”

It seems like a long time ago that Calvert-Lewin was subject to a lot of criticism, but now the £1.5million signing looks like the bargain of the century.
He’s a young player who simply needed time to develop, and coaching and trust from a top-class manager like Carlo Ancelotti always helps.
Calvert-Lewin has gone on to answer his critics emphatically, and now boasts a Ronaldo-esque goal ratio early on this season, his efforts rewarded with an England breakthrough.
