Calvert-Lewin’s Focus Questioned Amid Newcastle Transfer Speculation

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has come under scrutiny after being linked with a potential move to Newcastle United during the summer transfer window. Despite Everton reportedly demanding a £40 million fee that halted the deal, questions remain about the forward’s commitment, especially as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

Former Everton defender Alan Stubbs expressed concern over Calvert-Lewin’s mindset, suggesting the transfer speculation may have impacted his focus.

“Everton as a club will not want to lose him for nothing, but for me, it looks like his head is elsewhere,” Stubbs told BBC Sport.

With Calvert-Lewin’s future uncertain, Stubbs highlighted the pivotal moment this represents for both player and club. “We are at a crossroads for the next chapter of Dominic’s career and for Everton to move on,” he added.
