Calvert-Lewin seems destined to finally end his association with Everton after joining them from Sheffield United in 2016. Since then, he has scored 70 goals in 267 games in a spell that has been blighted by injuries. Incidentally, Atalanta are second in Serie A, are flying high in the Champions League, and have a serious chance of winning trophies this season – and that may be a tempting proposal for the England forward.
DID YOU KNOW?
Calvert-Lewin, who has 11 England caps to his name, hasn't hit double figures for goals in the Premier League since the 2020-21 season – where he found the net on 16 occasions.
