Dominic Calvert-Lewin recently signed as a free agent, drawing considerable interest from clubs around the UK and globally due to his proven Premier League track record. Though attracted by Calvert-Lewin’s proven ability, clubs remain wary due to his injury history and potential wage expectations.
Calvert-Lewin featured 26 times for Everton during the 2018/19 Premier League campaign and demonstrated his goal-scoring abilities with three goals scored across 26 appearances, but finding another club has proven challenging due to salary demands and physical fitness requirements.
Manchester United’s Transfer Strategy
Manchester United, under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, is considering the possibility of bringing Calvert-Lewin into the team to bolster their attacking options. While the club is on the lookout for additional strikers, Calvert-Lewin is seen as an ideal candidate for strengthening their squad depth.
Newcastle United, Sunderland, and West Ham United are among the Premier League clubs showing interest in Calvert-Lewin. Notably, Sunderland appears to be very keen on securing his services, prepared to offer a competitive contract along with the promise of regular first-team football.
Wider Interest in Calvert-Lewin
Calvert-Lewin has captured the interest of clubs from Germany’s Bundesliga league, Major League Soccer, Saudi Arabia and even beyond due to his status as a free agent – this negates transfer fees thus providing clubs looking for cost-cutting signings with an affordable signing option.
Aston Villa could also make their move, viewing Calvert-Lewin as an effective option to retain their offensive strength should Ollie Watkins move over to Manchester United. They recognize his experience within the Premier League and regard him as being capable of filling that position successfully.
