Former England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin announced on Sunday he will leave Everton on a free transfer after failing to agree a new contract with the Toffees.Calvert-Lewin, 28, said he was seeking a "new challenge" after a nine-year spell on Merseyside.

Earlier in June, BBC Sport pundit Nedum Onuoha said he thought Everton should retain Calvert-Lewin, but on reduced terms. The former Manchester City defender added: "He 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?

Everton offered the 11-time England international a new deal towards the end of 2023-24 but no agreement on an extension was reached.
