Everton wanted to tie Dominic Calvert-Lewin to a new contract, but the 11-cap English international is reportedly ready to embark on a new adventure this summer.

According to a report by Football Insider, Dominic Calvert-Lewin might have played his final game for Everton. The Toffees have been keen on tying the experienced but injury-riddled striker to a new contact. However, the 11-cap English international is ready to embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window.

Recent reports have linked the Englishman with Newcastle United. The Tyneside outfit may have the opportunity to complete a Bosman move for Calvert-Lewin, who has turned down multiple offers from Tottenham Hotspur, with the Merseyside outfit “resigned to losing him” as a free agent.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and his Everton rollercoaster

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Everton from Sheffield United in August 2016. While the 28-year-old was excellent for several campaigns with the Merseyside outfit, fitness issues have plagued him in the last few seasons. That has also impacted the player’s output in front of the goal.

The 11-cap English international managed a paltry tally of three goals and two assists in 1,613 minutes of game time in 26 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Calvert-Lewin’s long-term future at Everton is uncertain, as he has entered the final month of his contract with the Merseyside outfit.

What next?

Recent reports have pointed to Everton hoping to tie Dominic Calvert-Lewin to a new contract instead of losing him as a free agent. The Toffees have announced the departures of several players who were either on loan at Goodison Park or in the final year of their deals. However, Calvert-Lewin did not feature in those announcements.

So, it was clear that Everton wanted to keep the 28-year-old Englishman at the club ahead of the big move to Bramley Moore-Dock. However, the Toffees are now “resigned to losing” Calvert-Lewin as a free agent. Meanwhile, a move to Newcastle United may be on the cards, with the Tyneside outfit showing interest in him for several months.

Callum Wilson will likely depart from St. James’ Park in the summer transfer window, and Calvert-Lewin can be his compatriot’s long-term replacement. So, with Everton poised to lose the 11-cap English international as a free agent, a move to Newcastle United may be on the cards.
