"It's that mentality of win or learn. You win, but if you don't, you analyse why. Where you start is not where you are collectively at the end of the season. We haven't got an abundance of experience but we have enough and we have players that can grow into roles, and step up. It's achievable, the evidence shows that"
"There was a lot of ups and downs and I felt I'd come to a stage where I'd started to stagnate a little bit."
"It just felt like a fresh environment and a new challenge was needed."
Dominic Calvert-Lewin left Everton on a free transfer after nine years, joining Leeds United in the summer. He scored 57 Premier League goals in 239 appearances, placing him third for Everton behind Duncan Ferguson (60) and Romelu Lukaku (68). Final seasons at Everton were disrupted by injury lay-offs and a feeling of stagnation, prompting a move for a fresh environment and new challenge. Leeds have scored 10 Premier League goals this season, only Wolves fewer, and have underperformed a 13.1 expected goals total. Calvert-Lewin has a 2.0 xG and is one goal below expected, with hopes he can help Leeds avoid relegation and foster collective growth.
