Leeds reach shock agreement to sign 57-goal Premier League striker on free transfer

Leeds are set to make their return to the Premier League after dominating the Championship last season and Daniel Farke is adding veteran striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to his ranks. The 28-year-old left Everton as a free agent this summer and will make the switch to Elland Road having turned down a new deal with the Toffees.

Calvert-Lewin had a disrupted end to his Everton career. Plagued by injuries, he only featured 26 times in the Premier League last season and across his time with the Toffees, he scored 71 goals in 274 appearances.

Having impressed early in his career at Sheffield United, Calvert-Lewin spent nine years at Goodison Park. In that time, he also earned 11 caps for England, but hasn't made a Three Lions appearance since 2021.

Calvert-Lewin is set to undergo his medical at Leeds on Wednesday, before signing on the dotted line to join Daniel Farke's side. Leeds open their campaign against the Toffees on Saturday.
