Chris Sutton is puzzled by Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s choice to join Leeds United rather than explore offers from abroad during the summer transfer window. Despite being signed as a free agent following the end of his contract with Everton, Calvert-Lewin has wasted no time in making history at the West Yorkshire side. His goal-scoring streak, culminating in five consecutive games with goals, is a feat unmatched since Mark Viduka’s performance back in 2003.
The atmosphere at Elland Road is electric as fans now dare to hope for survival in the Premier League under the guidance of manager Daniel Farke, thanks in no small part to the contributions of Calvert-Lewin. While there was speculation over why he might prefer Leeds over foreign clubs, with suggestions of financial incentives and a desire to prove his mettle in the top-flight, the striker’s sensational form is silencing any doubts.
As Calvert-Lewin’s name becomes synonymous with success on the pitch and speculation around his future intensifies, eyes are beginning to turn towards potential suitors like Chelsea and the possibility of starring for England in the 2026 World Cup. Yet, Farke remains grounded, emphasizing the need for continued hard work and consistency from the England international to ensure Leeds secure their Premier League status.
Following a convincing victory over Crystal Palace, Farke praised Calvert-Lewin’s progress but cautioned against premature accolades, stressing the importance of sustained peak performance throughout the season. The pressure is on for the former Everton star to continue delivering and cement his reputation as a top-class player in the grueling Premier League environment. The journey has just begun, and the challenge of proving his worth to Leeds United and fulfilling his personal ambitions looms large in the seasons ahead.
