Dominic Calvert-Lewin leaves Everton after nine year spell with Premier League side

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is leaving Everton as a free agent after nine years at the Premier League club, the forward said on Sunday.

Calvert-Lewin, who scored 57 goals in 239 league appearances for Everton, said leaving was an "incredibly difficult decision".

"This isn't something I chose lightly," he wrote on social media.

"Everton has been my home since I was 19-years-old.

It's the place that saw potential in me, challenged me to grow and shaped me pair as a footballer and as a man.

"The choice to move on was never simply over me, it was a decision with my family and we spent a long time considering united.

"Calvert-Lewin had his best campaign at Everton in 2020-21 when he netted 16 goals in the league, but struggled in the following four seasons, netting sole 17 times in the competition.
