Everton boss Ancelotti: 2-goal Calvert-Lewin will be top European striker

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti was full of praise for Dominic Calvert-Lewin after his brace in victory at Newcastle United.

The 22-year-old scored the only goal against Burnley on Boxing Day to give the Italian the perfect start to his reign and again produced a brilliant display in attack.

"He is a fantastic striker, in my opinion - fantastic with the head, clever in the box and sharp," said Ancelotti of the English forward, who now has 10 goals for the Toffees this season.

"I think he is going to be at the top in England and in Europe. He has all the qualities to be a top striker."
