Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is out of contract this summer.
After nine years, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is set to leave Everton upon the expiry of his deal later this month.

Newcastle United have been looking at Calvert-Lewin, whilst Serie A title winners Napoli have been closely monitoring his situation lately.
Now, there is a new Premier League club making an approach for the soon-to-be out-of-contract Everton striker.

Now, according to FootballTransfers, West Ham United have made contact to sign the former England international.
It’s understood the East Londoners had talks with Everton on Friday as they prepare to bid farewell to Michail Antonio.
