Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be set for Everton contract U-turn

At 27-years-old, Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin will arguably make the biggest decision of his football career in the coming months. 

After signing for Everton back in 2016, Calvert-Lewin’s♛ contract at Goodison Park is set to expire next summer.

So far, Calvert-Lewin has rejected Everton’s advances amid interest from several Premier League sides.

𝕴The striker has been struggling to score regularly but is currently enjoying his best run of fitness in recent memory.


💜And once Calvert-Lewin gets back to his sharpest, there’s very little doubt that the England international can win Premier League football matches.

That being said, TBR Footballꦛ can reveal that Everton are working very hard to persuade Calvert-Lewin to sign a new long-term contract offer.

Dan Friedkin arrival could convince Dominic Calvert-Lewin to stay at Everton

ꦆEverton believe that their forthcoming ownership change will help persuade Calvert-Lewin to pen fresh terms.

🐼Calvert-Lewin is considering his options right now but the prospect of Roma owner Dan Friedkin coming in could very well impact on his decision to stay.

꧋Friedkin is ready to invest heavily at Everton, both on and off the pitch, and keeping the club’s prized assets is somewhere he’ll begin.

♒Eddie Howe was hugely keen to take Calvert-Lewin to Newcastle in the summer and it’s believed that interest is still strong.

ꦐOf course, with Iliman Ndiaye now finding his feet at Everton and Dwight McNeil enjoying some strong form, Calvert-Lewin remains vital in webbing everything together.

Sean Dyche can’t afford to lose Dominic Calvert-Lewin in January

🌺Sean Dyche will hope that Calvert-Lewin’s situation is sorted as soon as possible, especially if the Englishman ends up committing his long-term future to the club.

ꦡRegardless of what happens, Dyche certainly can’t afford to lose Calvert-Lewin in January, even if a replacement is signed.

꧃New signings have typically taken a while to settle under Dyche on Merseyside, meaning a mid-season move would be incredibly risky.

Everton are already targeting January moves𒁃, but the whole window would take a completely new complexion were the club forced to cash-in on their number nine.

⛦Although, given Friedkin’s imminent arrival, fans will hope that Calvert-Lewin can be convinced to stay put.
