Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a report from Fichajes.
Calvert-Lewin could be on the move when the window opens, with his contract at Everton expiring this summer. The English striker has struggled to find consistency over the last few years, predominantly due to injury troubles, which have kept him on the treatment table.
After a catastrophic season in the Premier League, Tottenham could look to bring in a host of reinforcements over the coming months. Ange Postecoglou's side see themselves battling towards the bottom of the table, and Daniel Levy will need to splash the cash to help turn things around.
Tottenham Eyeing Bargain Move for Calvert-Lewin
He's rejected an Everton contract extension
According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham are interested in signing Everton striker Calvert-Lewin ahead of the summer transfer window. The towering centre-forward is out of contract, meaning Spurs could secure him on a free transfer, and the report claims that he's already rejected a contract extension offer from the Toffees.
Although Spurs burst the bank to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth last summer, adding Calvert-Lewin could give them extra firepower in attack. The 26-year-old is Premier League proven, despite a lack of form of late, and could be an ideal backup in attack.
Calvert-Lewin, who currently earns £120,000-a-week at Everton, will have to weigh up his next move as there's no doubt he will be wanting to play regular minutes. At Tottenham, there's a strong chance he will have to play second fiddle to Solanke, considering the money they invested in him, so it will be interesting to see whether he's keen on joining the north London club.
Everton are set for a busy summer with a host of players, alongside Calvert-Lewin, being out of contract. As a result, there's a good chance they'll make another play to try and tie him down to a new deal.
