Sport nationDominic Calvert-Lewin Eyes Move Away from Everton
According to Turkish outlet Fotomac, Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has identified Besiktas as his preferred destination should he choose to leave the Merseyside club.
The 27-year-old English striker has been linked with several top-tier clubs, including Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Manchester United, who are reportedly “closely following” his situation.
However, Besiktas appears to be Calvert-Lewin’s favored option, with the Turkish club potentially making a move for him at the end of the 2024/25 season.
Everton’s Retention Efforts
Despite interest from other clubs, Everton has initiated contract extension talks with Calvert-Lewin, indicating their desire to retain his services.
Calvert-Lewin’s Importance to Everton
The English striker remains Everton’s top attacking option, and his departure would significantly weaken the team.
Although Armando Broja’s arrival on deadline day was intended to bolster the strike force, his injury issues have prevented him from making an impact.
Broja’s goal-scoring record, particularly his inability to reach double figures since his Eredivisie stint in 2020/21, raises concerns about his reliability as a starter.
In contrast, Calvert-Lewin’s experience and goal-scoring ability make him a vital component of Sean Dyche’s squad.
Conclusion
While Calvert-Lewin’s future at Everton remains uncertain, the club’s efforts to extend his contract suggest a positive outcome.
However, the interest from Besiktas and other top clubs underscores the need for Everton to secure Calvert-Lewin’s long-term commitment to prevent losing him.
Only time will tell how this situation unfolds, but one thing is clear: Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s retention is crucial to Everton’s success.
