Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been with Everton since 2016, scoring 57 Premier League goals. However, his recent seasons have been marred by injuries and inconsistent performance, leading to a struggle to regain his prior form. With his contract nearing expiration, he hopes to return to Goodison Park soon and reflects on a mixed season where he scored only three goals. Despite setbacks, he remains optimistic about his physical condition and aims to demonstrate his commitment to the club in its challenging periods.
Calvert-Lewin describes a season with just three goals in only 22 Premier League games as ‘mixed’ - given the uplift from the appointment of manager David Moyes in January contrasted with his own hamstring injury at Brighton the same month.
Since that campaign Calvert-Lewin has struggled to replicate those impressive numbers because of a lack of form and injury issues. His last England cap was in 2021.
Now, as Calvert-Lewin approaches the last couple of months of his contract, he tells BBC Sport about his aim of playing at Goodison again this season.
I was fit for 18 months before this injury, and I was going pretty well in playing games and the consistency of playing. Physically I feel the best I have ever felt.
