Dominic Calvert-Lewin Signs Three-Year Free Transfer With Leeds United

Daniel Farke has outlined a phased fitness plan for the striker, accompanied by conflicting reports on his availability for Leeds’ season opener against Everton.

Overview

  • Leeds United confirmed on August 15 that the 28-year-old signed a three-year deal at Elland Road after his Everton contract expired.
  • Everton manager David Moyes said the club opted not to renew Calvert-Lewin’s contract because the proposed financial terms exceeded their budget.
  • Farke described Calvert-Lewin as a proven Premier League performer and announced a step-by-step programme to rebuild his fitness after injury-hit campaigns.
  • Reports vary on whether Calvert-Lewin will feature against Everton in Leeds’ opening fixture, with AFP stating he is unavailable and Farke insisting he has joined the squad.
  • Former Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure also left this week to join Neom SC, reflecting Everton’s wider summer departures under financial constraints.
