Dominic Calvert-Lewin Agrees to Join Leeds United on Free Transfer
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the 28-year-old former Everton striker, has agreed in principle to join newly promoted Leeds United. Having left Everton at the end of his contract on June 30, Calvert-Lewin is set to sign for Leeds on a free transfer. This move is expected to end Leeds' pursuit of top striker target Rodrigo Muniz, who remains at Fulham and is reportedly interested in a move to Atalanta.
Calvert-Lewin spent nine years at Everton but chose not to renew his contract, thus making him a free agent. Leeds United are now close to completing the agreement, with Calvert-Lewin expected to undergo a medical shortly. The signing is considered a significant acquisition for the club as they prepare for their upcoming Premier League campaign.
In addition to securing Calvert-Lewin, Leeds United are poised to close in on two more signings soon, signaling an active transfer window for the club. Calvert-Lewin rejected other suitors, including Sunderland, to join Leeds, underlining the club’s ambitions and his preference to compete at the highest level.
This transfer highlights Leeds United’s commitment to strengthening their squad with proven Premier League talent and reflects Calvert-Lewin’s desire to continue his career with a club aiming to solidify its status in the top flight.
