Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has to prove point in FA Cup v Millwall

Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin is an interesting player at Goodison Park, as he often finds himself on the bench despite being the club’s third top scorer this season.

The centre-forward, who cost £1.5million in 2016 (Sky Sports), has netted six times across all competitions this campaign.

He is a highly-rated 21-year-old that has shown glimpses of class, but still needs to convince manager Marco Silva he can be a regular starter.

The England Under-21 international has completed a full game in just five Premier League fixtures this season and that must surely be a frustration for him.

Versatile attacker Richarlison is usually the preferred option at striker, but there is certainly a space open for Calvert-Lewin to make the position his own if he can perform consistency.

Everton travel to Championship opposition Millwall on Saturday in the fourth round of the FA Cup and it would be no surprise to see Silva make some rotations.

Calvert-Lewin should be jumping at the gun for a potential start and needs to make the most of any opportunity he gets every time he steps out on the pitch.

He’s a rising star that is brilliant in the air and can offer a physical presence at striker, something that the Toffees have lacked at times this season.

The centre-forward just can’t seem to nail down a starting position due to the odd dip in form and needs to do more to fully get his manager on side.
