Overview

  • Calvert-Lewin became a free agent on June 30 after a nine-year spell at Everton, where he scored 71 goals in 274 appearances.
  • Wage negotiations with Daniel Farke’s side stalled over salary demands before being settled this week.
  • He declined Sunderland’s proposal that would have made him their highest-paid player to remain in the Premier League.
  • Leeds’ capture of the England striker has led the newly promoted club to shelve their pursuit of Rodrigo Muniz.
  • Sunderland moved quickly to loan Chelsea prospect Marc Guiu as an alternative frontline option.
