Leeds United could sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer.
The Whites are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements as they try to stay in the Premier League after securing promotion.
There are doubts over Joel Piroe’s inexperience in the top-flight and the likes of Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford could be heading for an exit.
The Toffees star could be on the agenda as he has a wealth of experience in the division and he is available on a free transfer from 1 July.

A report from the i (24 June) claims that Leeds have made contact over a move for the former England star, with his Blues contract set to expire.
It states that nothing has progressed past an initial phone call at the moment, and the 28-year-old is yet to make a decision on his future, but the smart money is on a move abroad.

Calvert-Lewin move makes sense for Leeds
Daniel Farke‘s side needs top-flight experience, and Calvert-Lewin boasts plenty, even if injury issues have frustrated him in recent seasons.
He has only featured in more than 26 league games once in the previous four seasons, so his fitness would be a concern, but his knowledge of the division could prove invaluable.
The Toffees forward has notched 57 goals and 18 assists in 239 appearances at the elite level, which is not a terrible record by any means.
If he is brought to LS11, he cannot be the only forward that is signed; that would be negligent. The Peacocks also need to sign someone like Nikola Krstovic or Rodrigo Muniz, who will play more regularly.
Calvert-Lewin would be a solid impact player when he is fit, though, and could even forge a starting role and banish his injury problems in a new surrounding.
He would provide the Whites with an aerial threat and the ability to hold the ball up and bring others into play around him, and could prove to be a solid addition as long as he is not the only attacker to arrive.
