Dominic Calvert-Lewin Announces Everton Departure After Nine Years

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has announced he is leaving Everton, ending his nine-year stay at Goodison Park. His contract has ended, making him a free agent. It is not yet known where he will play next.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Calvert-Lewin joined Everton from Sheffield United in 2016. He became an important player for the team, making 273 appearances and scoring 73 goals. However, he struggled with injuries and form in the 2024-25 season and scored only three goals in 26 Premier League matches. With his contract expiring and no new deal in place, he decided to leave. He shared an emotional farewell message with Everton fans, thanking them for their support over the years.

Everton finished the 2024/25 Premier League season 6 points behind Fulham.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Everton had a challenging season, fighting near the bottom of the Premier League. Calvert-Lewin’s injury problems meant he missed crucial matches, affecting the team’s attacking threat. Despite this, he has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United and Manchester United. Being a free agent, he is likely to be in demand in the summer transfer market.

WHAT NEXT FOR CALVERT-LEWIN AND EVERTON?

Calvert-Lewin’s future is uncertain, but he may remain in the Premier League due to interest from bigger clubs. Meanwhile, Everton needs to rebuild their attack without him. The team’s first match of the 2025-26 season will be important as they look to improve on last year’s struggles and avoid another relegation battle. Fans will be watching closely to see how the team performs without one of their key players.
