Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has addressed the uncertainty surrounding his future at the club, emphasizing his focus on the present amidst ongoing transfer speculation.

Calvert-Lewin’s Current Contract and Transfer Rumors

The 27-year-old England international is entering the final year of his contract, sparking intense speculation about his potential departure. Despite Everton manager Sean Dyche’s assertion that Calvert-Lewin will not be sold in January, the striker’s future remains uncertain.

Calvert-Lewin’s Response to Transfer Rumors

In an interview with Everton’s match-day program, Calvert-Lewin acknowledged the “noise” surrounding his future but stressed his commitment to the club:

“Noise is noise – it’s nothing I’ve not experienced before. You know, there’s always going to be noise externally when it comes to football. It’s part and parcel of the job and something you have to deal with as a player.”

Summer Transfer Window and Newcastle United Interest

Calvert-Lewin was heavily linked with a move to Newcastle United during the summer transfer window, but the deal ultimately fell through. The striker downplayed the rumors, focusing on his preparation for the new season:

“I was on holiday with my family, relaxing. Obviously, as an Everton player preparing to go in for pre-season and preparing to be ready for the new season as an Everton player.”

Career Goals and Everton Legacy

Calvert-Lewin expressed his ambition to become Everton’s all-time highest scorer in the Premier League, surpassing Romelu Lukaku’s record:

“For me, I’m joint-third top scorer in the Premier League for Everton, so I need 13 more goals at this moment in time to surpass Romelu. That’s been something on my agenda from the start of the season – being Everton’s all-time highest scorer in the Premier League.”

He emphasized his desire to etch his name in Everton’s history, particularly as the club prepares to leave Goodison Park:

“I want to etch my name in Everton’s history forever. It’s something that I’m dead set on achieving. We’re playing a small part in the club’s history now – with our last season at Goodison. I think there’s something special about the place.”

Career Statistics and Achievements

Since joining Everton from Sheffield United in 2016, Calvert-Lewin has:

  • Made 257 appearances
  • Scored 70 goals
  • Become third on Everton’s all-time Premier League top-scorer list with 56 goals

Conclusion

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s comments provide insight into his mindset amidst transfer speculation. While his future remains uncertain, the striker’s focus on the present and commitment to Everton’s legacy are clear.
