Everton striker Calvert-Lewin desperate to stay in Koeman plans

Published on: 05 August 2017

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is desperate to stay in the plans of manager Ronald Koeman.

The 20-year-old striker knows how difficult it is for young players to make the first team grade in a Premier League awash with big money signings.

Koeman has signed forwards Sandro Ramirez and Wayne Rooney so far this summer, and has been linked with another centre forward in either Olivier Giroud or Christian Benteke,

It leaves Calvert-Lewin under no illusions about the size of the task he faces.

"Every season gets bigger and I know that there is going to be competition for places," he told the Liverpool Echo. "I just have to keep doing what I am doing, scoring goals and working on my development so I am there fighting for a spot. I just have to keep scoring goals.

"The main objective for me (against Ruzomberok) was to come on and affect the game and thankfully I have done that.

"We have got the result but this is great for me and I am looking to kick on in my Everton career. It just mean working hard and thankfully I have got my goal."
