Everton’s 2024/25 campaign has been a forgettable one with three defeats from three in the Premier League.
But the Toffees were able to complete some solid deals in the window with a number of players added to Sean Dyche’s squad.
However, some may already be watching the January transfer market, with much left to be desired from the opening fixtures.
While the majority of Everton fans may want more quality, there are also some players who may be looking for a solution to their future.
Everton allowed players such as Amadou Onana to leave the club in the summer and there may have been a few other players hoping for moves.
What will Everton do with Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was heavily linked with a move away from Goodison Park in the summer.
The likes of Chelsea and Arsenal have also shown interest in Calvert-Lewin, who is now in the final year of his contract.
And then there was interest in Calvert-Lewin from Newcastle United earlier in the window, who were seriously keen on the striker.
According to the Daily Mail, Everton could now allow Calvert-Lewin to leave Merseyside in the January window.
The striker is now in the final 12 months of his contract, making January Everton’s last chance to get him some cash.
A new deal was reportedly on the table for the former England international in the summer, but he did not write it.
What Everton could now get back for Calvert-Lewin remains to be seen with the striker in the final months of his contract and not exactly at his best.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin may have to settle for backup striker
Some of the clubs listed as interested in the ‘fantastic’ Calvert-Lewin in the summer could still be interested in him in January.
But what role you might offer him on your team could be an interesting factor in who he might get along very well with.
Even at a team like Newcastle, Calvert-Lewin wouldn’t come in as the first goalscorer given the form Alexander Isak has shown in the Premier League.
But if the Everton man is willing to accept the relegation role, it just shows how desperate he must be to leave Merseyside with a new contract still on offer.
