After nine years at Everton, where he made 273 appearances and scored 71 goals, Calvert-Lewin opted to leave Goodison Park despite Everton offering a new contract.
Summer Rebuild
This potential signing would bolster Leeds’ attacking options ahead of their Premier League campaign. Recently promoted, Leeds have already been active in the transfer market, adding players such as Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, and others to strengthen their squad. The arrival of a proven Premier League striker like Calvert-Lewin injects valuable experience and goal-scoring threat into Daniel Farke’s ranks.
Calvert-Lewin, a seasoned striker who earned 11 caps for England, last featured for his country in 2021. His addition to Leeds could also have a fitting narrative twist—he may make his Elland Road debut against his former side, Everton.
As this transfer develops, Leeds fans will eagerly await the formal confirmation and Calvert-Lewin’s first official appearance in white. This signing underscores Leeds United’s ambition and intent as they prepare for the challenges of the Premier League.
