Everton FC has signed forward Calvert-Lewin from Newcastle United for £15m. The 26-year-old is a product of the Newcastle academy, having made his debut for the club in 2017. Calvert-Lewin was impressive at the international level as well, scoring 19 goals in 44 appearances for England U-21s.
The signing comes after Everton struggled to find a consistent striker in their squad last season. They were left with only one option in Lucas Digne, who struggled to break through in the Premier League. However, they have had some success in recent months, and Calvert-Lewin's arrival will provide another injection of energy to the squad.
Calvert-Lewin's arrival means that Everton now have two options for their starting lineup at right-back. He will be joined by fellow new boy Seamus Coleman, who also came through the youth ranks at Newcastle. Coleman has impressed so far this season, making over 30 appearances across all competitions.
However, it remains to be seen how well Calvert-Lewin fits into Everton's plans. He may need time to adjust to the Premier League style of play, but he already has experience playing in Europe and has shown flashes of ability on loan at Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.
Overall, the signing of Calvert-Lewin from Newcastle United will add another player to Everton's squad and give them a fresh perspective on their attacking options. However, they will need to work hard to develop him into a regular starter in the team.
