​Everton forward Calvert-Lewin embracing Kane competition

Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin has no problem competing with Harry Kane on the goalscoring front.

Calvert-Lewin knows he is unlikely to dislodge Kane as England number 9 at the Euros this summer.

But he is enjoying the battle between the two sharp shooters to see who will be top scorer in the Premier League.

"I think I want to become more rounded, I want to keep honing my skills and fine-tuning the qualities that I have," the Everton striker added.

"And scoring more goals - every striker wants to score more goals.

"For me, when I don't score goals, it's about affecting games like I have been doing more often than not."

When asked if he needs more from goals outside the box, Calvert-Lewin said: "I think so yeah. It's adding different goals to my game now.

"I've shown that I can be lethal in the six-yard box and get on the end of crosses and things like that but adding another string to my bow is what I am always looking to try and do.

"That's adding different types of goals to my game which will ultimately, at the end of the season, when you check how many goals you've got, it will add to that grand total."
