Dominic Calvert-Lewin joined Everton for £1.5million in 2016 from Sheffield United [Sky Sports].
The Englishman made a slow start to his career on Merseyside, with many fans doubting his ability to lead the line at Premier League level.
He scored his first Premier League goal in a 4-0 win over Hull City in 2017.
However, he really began to kick on the following seasons, scoring 8 goals and providing 6 assists as he was chosen to replace the newly departed Romelu Lukaku as Everton's starting striker.
The arrival of Carlo Ancelotti in 2019 would prove crucial for Calvert-Lewin, with the 28-year-old bagging 21 goals in all competitions in the Italian manager's only full season as a blue.
However, a period of seemingly never-ending injuries hindered his progress, only managing 18 goals in the following 4 seasons in all competitions.
He enjoyed a couple of special moments during that period, however, with a goal in his side's Merseyside Derby win and a winner in a crucial 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace springing to mind.
It does feel at though it is the right time for him to leave the toffees, with David Moyes' side undergoing a transition upon their move to Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is now set to leave Everton upon the expiration of his current contract at the end of June after failing to agree terms with the club [El Bobble].
Reports suggest that the likes of Manchester United, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspurs and West Ham United are interested in signing the striker on a free transfer [TRFootball].
Wherever Calvert-Lewin ends up, it is now essential that Everton are able to sign a replacement.
Beto ended the season well in blue but still has to improve massively before he is able to start for a competitive Premier League side.
His departure adds to a multitude of issues the Friedkin Group will have to sort out ahead of the new season.
