In the last couple of years, the No.9 position has been an area of concern for Everton. The Toffees have struggled to find a suitable replacement for their former star forward, Romelu Lukaku, who moved to the Old Trafford in 2017. Since then, whoever they signed to play in attack, turned out to be a disappointment. However, it seems Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a player who cost them nothing, maybe the solution to their problems up-front.

The English forward, who has often been criticized in the past for his lack of goals, has finally come of age and silenced all the critics this season with his exceptional goal-scoring form. The striker has been a crucial player for the Toffees, scoring 13 goals this season.

The 22-year-old is a traditional center-forward with excellent aerial abilities and athleticism. Apart from being adept at finding the back of the net, the youngster also possesses a high work-rate, which makes him crucial to Everton's high-pressing style of play.

With Euro 2020 around the corner, the striker will hope to continue his excellent form for the remaining part of the season and impress the England manager, Gareth Southgate.
