In a recent report, journalist Pete O’Rourke offered an update on the future of Everton centre-forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin. It is believed that the Toffees are set to demand a fee over £40m for the English striker this summer.
Calvert-Lewin’s Inconsistent Form At Goodison Park This Season
Calvert-Lewin is having an inconsistent campaign at the Merseyside club but deserves some credit for putting in a few productive displays for them in the final third. The 27-year-old has banged in six goals and grabbed two assists in 33 matches for Everton this season across various competitions.
The Sheffield-born talent has done well to average 2.2 shots and 0.6 key passes per 90 minutes in the Premier League. However, he has lacked accuracy when distributing possession in the opponent’s half, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 55.2% in the English top flight (stats via whoscored).
Standing at 1.89m, the English sensation can use his powerful frame to dominate the opposition defenders in the air when he is playing well on the field. He remains an important member of Everton boss Sean Dyche’s match-day squad.
However, Calvert-Lewin will enter the final year of his contract at the Merseyside club this summer. Thus, the Toffees would be wise to cut him loose later this year and use the money generated from his potential sale to bring in a suitable replacement in the upcoming transfer period.
