West Ham United will reportedly look to sign 27-year-old English striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window. And they have identified the 27-year-old Everton attacker as a target, with Brentford also keen on signing him.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and his career so far
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is finally resurrecting his stuttering career after struggling with fitness issues in recent seasons. A native of Sheffield, he spent his formative years with Sheffield United before graduating from the youth division at the Yorkshire club nearly a decade ago.
The Englishman’s over-decade-long association with Sheffield United ended in August 2016 when he joined Everton. Since then, the 27-year-old has come leaps and bounds but endured a few frustrating seasons due to his injury horrors. While Calvert-Lewin managed only eight goals and three assists in 38 appearances across all competitions, he showed some promising signs in the final weeks of the 2023/24 season.
Calvert-Lewin’s performances in the final weeks of the 2023/24 season have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several Premier League clubs. Recent reports have linked the Everton striker with Chelsea and Newcastle United. However, the English attacker’s next destination might be West Ham United.
Move across the Premier League on the cards?
West Ham United’s interest in Dominic Calvert-Lewin is understandable. The Hammers are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window. Michail Antonio and Danny Ings are on approaching the twilight of their careers, with the latter’s performance levels dropping significantly.
Several strikers, including Jonathan David, have thus emerged on West Ham United’s radar. However, Calvert-Lewin is also a viable target, although the 27-year-old Englishman will come with an asterisk due to his recent fitness issues. Meanwhile, West Ham United will face stiff competition from Brentford for the Everton attacker.
A summer move to London might be on the cards for Calvert-Lewin amid escalating interest in his services. It will be interesting to see if West Ham can beat the competition to his signature in the summer transfer window.
