The Everton sensation Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the target of AC Milan, who are eager to bolster their offensive.
A report from Caught Offside claims that the Serie A powerhouses are prepared to put in a serious attempt to recruit him before teams like Newcastle United and West Ham do.
After rising through the ranks at Sheffield United and earning a reputation as a member of their first squad, Dominic Calvert-Lewin joined Everton in the summer of 2016.
Over the years, he has been a vital member of the Toffees’ starting lineup. Even though he hasn’t been playing at his best lately, the English international is still one of the first names on their roster.
Everton consider him a key part of their plans moving ahead, but his future is uncertain, with his contract running out at the end of the season. Multiple top clubs are aware of his contract situation and are looking to make the most out of it.
While the former Sheffield United attacker can still choose to continue at Everton, he turned down their most recent offer, giving hope to interested clubs. West Ham United and Newcastle United are two English clubs that are keen on signing the experienced Premier League campaigner.
With Danny Ings and Michail Antonio in the twilight of their career, the Hammers need a new number nine, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin certainly fits the bill.
He has all the qualities to succeed under Julen Lopetegui. Meanwhile, the Magpies are looking to add more depth to their attack, and they feel the Calvert-Lewin could be an ideal fit for Eddie Howe’s system.
Newcastle United and West Ham were both keen on his signature last summer. They did hold talks to sign the 27-year-old, but things did not go according to plan.
With his contract running down, both clubs have a great opportunity, although they will face significant competition from AC Milan.
The Italian giants are looking to add more depth to their attack, and they are looking to steal a march on the competition in the ongoing transfer window. The team from Milan have a massive advantage as they can strike a pre-agreement with Dominic Calvert-Lewin in January with less than six months left on his deal.
While a move to San Siro could be a great opportunity, he will have a bigger role at Newcastle or West Ham. Milan have the upper hand at this stage. However, Calvert-Lewin is in no rush to make a decision giving the English clubs some hope.
