Everton striker Calvert-Lewin 'very proud' after penning new deal

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has signed a new five-year contract, running until June 2025.

The 22-year-old, whose current deal was due to expire in 2022, has scored 15 goals in 31 games this season, eight of which have come since manager Carlo Ancelotti took over in December.

He joined the Toffees from Sheffield United in August 2016 and has played 124 times for the club.

"This is a very proud day," the former England Under-21 international said.

"I like to think I have shown I am ready to live up to the expectations of being Everton's number nine but I am well aware of how much I need to improve and how much better I can do.

"I love where I am and the position I am in and I love playing for Everton Football Club."
