Dominic Calvert-Lewin appears set to leave Everton when his contract expires in June.
The Toffees striker is currently out with an injury and looks no closer to penning an extension at Goodison Park.
It seems that the Merseyside outfit are now ready to part ways with the England international and bring in a new striker.

David Moyes can get the best out of Lucca
If Everton sign Lucca, David Moyes can maximise the 6ft 7in Udinese striker’s potential by tailoring tactics to his unique strengths.
Lucca’s aerial dominance and physical presence make him ideal for a direct style, leveraging Everton’s wingers like Dwight McNeil to deliver precise crosses into the box.
Moyes, known for pragmatic football, could pair Lucca with a mobile forward like Iliman Ndiaye, creating a dynamic duo to stretch defences with one dropping deep and the other attacking the goal.
The Italian’s six Serie A goals this season show his finishing ability, so Moyes should ensure midfielders like Idrissa Gueye provide quick transitions to feed him in scoring positions.
Training should focus on improving Lucca’s hold-up play, vital for linking with teammates at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Moyes’ experience with target men, like Marouane Fellaini and Marko Arnautovic, suggests he’d encourage Lucca to dominate set-pieces, boosting Everton’s goal threat.
By fostering confidence and integrating him into a supportive system, Moyes can unlock Lucca’s potential, enhancing Everton’s attack as they aim for a strong Premier League presence.
