Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Everton almost feel synonymous with one another now.
The striker has been leading the Toffees’ line for almost eight years and has shown his class in spurts, but recently things haven’t quite gone to plan.
Calvert-Lewin has managed to bag himself a couple of goals this season but, compared to where Everton need him to be, he’s miles off the pace.
While the Toffees’ fortunes were starting to turn around before the international break, Calvert-Lewin’s continued to be below par.
As his contract is expiring at the end of the season, it’s left many wondering whether he’ll extend his Goodison Park stay.
TEAMtalk reported on 13 October that the Toffees were in ongoing talks for his extension and hoped to have a deal finalised before January.
While on paper this might be seen as Everton’s commitment to the 27-year-old leading their line for the foreseeable future, Kevin Thelwell could have an ulterior motive and be looking to extend his contract so the club can get a fee for his transfer in the summer window.
