Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be available on a free transfer this summer, and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on him.

According to Fichajes, Manchester United are keeping tabs on the player as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

The 28-year-old will want to join a big club capable of fighting for trophies. Clubs like Tottenham and Manchester United could be attractive destinations for him.

Bargain move on the cards

Signing a player with his experience and quality on a free transfer could prove to be a major bargain. It remains to be seen where he ends up. Tottenham need another quality striker to support Dominic Solanke in the attack. His performances have been inconsistent this past season, and Solanke needs more support in the attack. 

The 28-year-old is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he has been labelled as an “excellent” player by Sean Dyche in the past. Although he has not been at his best in recent seasons, he is still at the peak of his powers, and he will get back to his best. Joining another club could be ideal for him. A fresh start could bring out the best in him. 

Tottenham will be able to offer him Champions League football for the next season, and that could be very tempting for the player. 

Man United keen on Dominic Calvert-Lewin

On the other hand, Manchester United need attacking reinforcements as well. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the striker to turn down the opportunity to play in the Champions League with Tottenham and join them instead. 

The player has 71 goals and 22 assists during his time at Everton, and he could be an asset for the two English clubs if he manages to recapture his form and confidence.
