Manchester United reportedly targeting In-form Everton star- Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer

Striker Calvert-Lewin who has scored 12 goals in 23 matches, including a first career hat-trick in Saturday’s 5-2 win over West Brom, since Carlo Ancelotti’s appointment at Everton last December, values £80million. The amount has reportedly put of the Red Devils according to The Sun.

Having scored four goals in his opening two matches of the 2020/21 campaign, he is expected to be called up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad for October’s friendly match with Wales and the Nations League double-header against Belgium and Denmark.

Ancelotti has even reportedly compared Calvert-Lewin to the former prolific striker - Filippo Inzaghi, who he coached at AC Milan.

The Everton boss in his statement said - “I had a fantastic striker in Inzaghi, who scored 300 goals and 210 with one touch”.

A striker is expected to be much focused in the box and I think Calvert-Lewin understands very well, because he has speed, he jumps pretty high, he has power in the box.

He also said; “The box is where he has really improved so much”.

Coach Ancelotti understands his gameplay and appears to be getting the best out of Calvert-Lewin, who joined Everton at a £1.5m deal from Sheffield United in 2016.

The 23-year-old’s form was greatly rewarded with a new five-year contract in March.

Manchester United having being on the lookout for another striker as a substitute for Anthony Martial and are also being linked with a shock move for Crystal Palace flop Alexander Sorloth, who has scored 33 goals in a loan spell with Trabzonspor in the previous season.

In stark contract, the Norway forward managed to score just a single goal in 20 appearances for the Eagles following his £9m move from Midtjylland in 2018.
