Could Calvert-Lewin still lead the Everton line?
Time is ticking on Dominic Calvert-Lewin's Everton 28-year-old is now into the final month of his contact with club and there is yet to be any announcement of an exit or new a recent BBC Sport interview, Calvert-Lewin talked of how he has led the line through one of the "most difficult" periods in the club's history and that "Everton will always be a place that is special to me, so we will see what happens".One thing that perhaps complicates the situation for the Toffees and Calvert-Lewin's future is his unfortunate recent history of injury and fitness Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha has suggested that the striker should be kept on, but as a "squad player" on a "reduced wage and perhaps appearance-based clauses".Calvert-Lewin joined the club from Sheffield United for £1.5m in 2016 and has since scored 71 goals in 273 games across all England international's impact steadily grew and his most prolific season in the Premier League came in 2020-21 when he netted 16 goals in 33 shot conversion rate peaked at 19% while his minutes-per-goal ratio was at its lowest at one every 180 was also the season where he spent the most time on the pitch racking up 2874 previous season had also been one where he showed his capabilities in front of goal - also reaching double figures with 13 - and where he played the most games of his league career with 2021-22 is when issues with injuries and fitness really started to appearances in the league fell from 33 to just 17, but he was still able to contribute in front of goal with a shot conversion rate equal to that of following season was particularly difficult, with just 17 appearances again, his fewest minutes on the pitch since his debut campaign, a minutes-per-goal ratio that more than doubled to 586 and shot conversion rate down at 6%.In the past two seasons, although he has managed to pick up the numbers when it comes to games, how much of those he has spent on the pitch has he played 32 times in 2023-24, he started 26 of those and often did not get to finish the match, being substituted off on 22 campaign, he started just over half the 26 matches he played and was subbed off in just under half of meant he struggled to return to the same levels of output as he produced during his peak campaigns, with just 10 goals across the past 58 a new deal can be reached with Everton, unless he can rekindle his previous form, Calvert-Lewin may have to adapt to a more supporting role in the team than that of the first-choice striker.

Keep Calvert-Lewin as 'squad player' on a 'reduced wage'
We asked for your questions for BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha on your Premier League asked whether Everton should keep Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the expiry of his contract this you have got to say this next season is going to be huge for Dominic Calvert-Lewin have seen his talents but the goalscoring record that got him in and around the England squad is becoming longer and longer needs to find a stretch where he is healthy, fit and available because you want to be able to rely on a striker and Everton have not been able to rely on Calvert-Lewin for a long time have a potential England international in the squad is brilliant - but only if they are available. The club will need to have a serious look at what they can do to first keep him healthy, but then secondly to keep him sharp. This comes from competition in the is worth keeping for now because is there cover if Everton decide to let him go? Do they have someone who can fill those boots straight away?Beto has done well in parts and been trusted in the back half of the season. I do not think Calvert-Lewin himself, or anyone at Everton, really expects him to be a guaranteed starter going forward. Unfortunately for him, he just has not played enough football in the past few the club can find a way to offer him a new deal - on a reduced wage and perhaps appearance-based clauses - then I would keep him as a squad new contract would need to reflect his lack of football. He is just not going to get any deal on the same terms as when he was pushing to play for England, and if the player does not accept that or wants a fresh start then he should for Calvert-Lewin, he can work his way back to being a regular starter and regular goalscorer Onuoha was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward

Everton working with police over online abuse faced by Calvert-Lewin's wife
Everton said they are working with Merseyside Police and the Premier League to identify those responsible for directing "threatening, racist and misogynistic abuse" at Dominic Calvert-Lewin's wife. Calvert-Lewin's wife Sandra had praised her husband on social media for being the third-most prolific goalscorer at Goodison Park in the Premier League era with 30 goals, behind only Duncan Ferguson and Romelu Lukaku. She later shared screenshots of some of the abusive messages she said she received over the post supporting the striker, who missed over three months following a hamstring injury in January and has scored only three league goals this season. "This sinister and intimidating behaviour is not only deeply hurtful and distressing, it is also criminal – and does not represent the values of Everton or the overwhelming majority of our supporters," the club said in a statement on Tuesday. "We are working closely with Merseyside Police and the Premier League to ensure the individuals responsible are identified and held accountable for their actions."
