The real reason why Dominic Calvert-Lewin will not sign a new contract at Everton

There was always bound to be a little bit of hardship for Everton supporters to endure, given how swimmingly their summer had been going beforehand.

After all, having only shipped out fringe players to adhere to PSR, which has in turn allowed them to add three new players to their first team, the fanbase has been left stunned.

Seemingly, Kevin Thelwell has forged an environment where no longer can the Toffees be bullied due to their precarious financial position.

So, with Manchester United still after Jarrad Branthwaite, they have thus far stood firm.

And yet, despite all that, one sale might now be sadly forced through by the player himself.

The latest on the future of Dominic Calvert-Lewin comes courtesy of The Times, who actually sought to offer an update on Branthwaite initially.

Detailing the latest bid from the Red Devils, it was the end of their report which provides a greater insight into the thoughts behind the striker’s lack of contract developments.

His current deal expires next summer, leaving Sean Dyche unsure whether to sell him now or lose him for nothing in a year.
