Dominic Calvert-Lewin now looks certain to leave Everton this summer.
The 28-year-old is out of contract on 30 June and talks over a new contract for Calvert-Lewin with Everton have stalled.
Rival Premier League clubs, including West Ham are reportedly interested in Calvert-Lewin and there is also an Italian outfit in the mix for his signature.
It seems increasingly likely that the striker will not be an Everton player when they make the move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton have Calvert-Lewin replacement lined up in Igamane
Everton have been credited with an interest in Rangers star Hamza Igamane for a long time, although a fee in the region of £20million seems rather excessive.

The race for the 22-year-old looks set to heat up in the coming weeks, with the likes of Brentford and West Ham also linked with the Moroccan.
Iconic commentator and Premier League expert Ian Darke believes that while the move would be a punt for the Blues, it would be one that is worth taking given their woes in front of goal.
Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, he said: “Well, I mean, I think at the kind of price you are dealing at, £20m, there is always going to be a slight punt element involved.
“It is like any player coming from another league to play in the Premier League, even if you stretch it up to Florian Wirtz going to Liverpool.
“You scout a player, and they obviously have scouted him, and it is a gamble that they think is a good gamble at the price.
“He wasn’t in the team when he first got there, then he had an injury, was on the bench and forced his way into the team, scored in an Old Firm derby, scored in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham, banged in 16 goals.
“Apparently, he has got a quite explosive quality to him. Everton are chronically short of goals and it looks like Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be leaving as a free agent. He exactly fits the profile as the kind of player at the right kind of price.”

Igamane could become a star at Everton
Moyes’ side need a reliable goalscorer, as they finished the last campaign as the fourth-lowest scorers in the Premier League, with only the relegated teams notching less goals.
The likes of Calvert-Lewin and Beto are not good enough to be competing for European qualification, which is the Scotsman’s aim for the new season.
Igamane, on the other hand, has shown glimpses of his potential at Ibrox in limited appearances and could become a superstar on Merseyside if he carries on the way he is going.
He notched 16 goals in his first season in Scottish football, which is a solid return, especially when he was in and out of the side.
