With reports that Manchester United have turned their attentions to Dominic Calvert-Lewin after top target Erling Haaland joined Borussia Dortmund, The Telegraph claim that Everton expect to agree terms with the striker on a new contract.Haaland had been tipped to join up with compatriot Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford but ended up signed for the Bundesliga side for a reported £18m instead.
Now, Solskjaer supposedly has his eyes on a £50m move for Calvert-Lewin, whom the Toffees signed for just £1.5m three years ago and whose career is starting to take off with some real goalscoring form in recent weeks.
The Telegraph's Sam Wallace has reported that talks with the 22-year-old's representatives have progressed and that terms on an improved, extended deal are close to being agreed.
Sky Sports correspondent Alan Myers says, however, that while negotiations are set to begin shortly, suggestions that a settlement is imminent are “premature”.
