Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s future at Everton remains uncertain as the transfer window approaches its final days. Despite his disappointing form and fitness issues, Newcastle United and West Ham are still interested in signing him. Calvert-Lewin, 27, has been linked with a move away from Goodison Park this summer after entering the final year of his contract.
Everton is considering replacement options, including Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah and Chelsea’s Armando Broja, but only if Calvert-Lewin leaves. The club’s recruitment team is prioritizing other positions, including a new midfielder and winger, but may be forced to sign a new striker if Calvert-Lewin exits.
Calvert-Lewin’s departure would leave Sean Dyche with limited options up front, as neither Beto nor Neal Maupay have proven to be clinical forwards. The scouting team is assessing their options in case of a late exit, with loan moves potentially being explored.
Everton’s recruitment team has been considering a move to sign a new striker since the window opened, but have prioritized deals elsewhere. Dyche remains keen on bringing in a new midfielder and another winger to the club before the window closes on August 31.
The situation is fluid, and Everton may be forced into the transfer market if they lose their number nine in the closing days of the window. Clubs in Europe are also keeping a close eye on Calvert-Lewin’s situation, adding to the uncertainty surrounding his future.
