Dominic Calvert-Lewin feels he's proven himself in Everton's attack.

The 22-year-old is manager Marco Silva's first choice ahead of £27m Turkey international Cenk Tosun and has responded by equalling the best goalscoring return of his short career with eight this season.

"I've played in my favoured position for the last few games now," he said.

"I've proved what I can do up there with my current performances, and I'm helping the team to put in good performances and results. I'm hitting the back of the net as well.

"Everyone knows you have to lead the line, and it comes with great responsibility. I will take that pressure on my shoulders. I want to lead the line for Everton. I'm happy to be doing that at the moment.

"If I want to get to where I want to get to and score many goals for Everton, I have to take that responsibility on.

"I'd like to think my last few performances have shown that I can lead the line and I'm capable of taking that responsibility and lead the lads from the front."
