Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be nudged aside by Everton target Moise Kean

There should be a lot of excitement around Everton over reports that they are set to sign attacker Moise Kean from Juventus, but perhaps one person that may not feel the same way is Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

According to Sky Italy journalist Gianluca Di Marzio on his official website, the Toffees have agreed a £36million deal for Kean.

The report details that the 19-year-old is set to pen a contract at Goodison Park worth around £53,000-a-week.

Kean is an extremely highly-rated talent that is one of the best youngsters around and he is a real coup for Marco Silva’s team if the deal is wrapped up.

The Italian has represented his nation through various youth levels up to the senior team and is a clinical striker.

He scored seven times in 17 senior games for Juventus last season, despite only completing 90 minutes on three occasions and it’s clear he now requires regular minutes.

The centre-forward has pace, power and an eye for goal, which is why he’s got so much potential to be a hit in the Premier League.

Kean’s expected imminent arrival should see him go straight into the Everton XI and it looks like Calvert-Lewin may be in the firing line.

The Merseyside club have struggled ever since Romelu Lukaku’s departure to find a prolific goalscorer and will hope Kean can fill that void.

Calvert-Lewin managed eight goals in 38 games across all competitions last season, but ultimately his finishing does let him down.

The English striker is strong in the air and great at holding the ball up with his physical frame, but Everton need someone ruthless to spearhead the attack.

Calvert-Lewin should certainly be nervous that an exciting young striker looks set to walk through the entrance and it looks like he may lose his spot in the team.

The 22-year-old is still a developing talent himself and he needs to work out being more clinical.
