Leeds add a proven Premier League forward to strengthen their frontline.

Leeds United Sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Boost Attack

Leeds United have announced the signing of Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a three-year deal, joining from Everton after his contract expired this summer. The England forward becomes Leeds’ eighth summer signing and will link up with a squad led by Daniel Farke at Elland Road.
Calvert-Lewin has tallied 57 Premier League goals in 239 appearances and brings European competition experience from Everton’s 2016/17 Europa League run. He began his career with Sheffield United, made his top-flight debut against Arsenal in 2016, and enjoyed a standout 2020/21 season with 26 goal involvements that earned international call-ups.
The move places Calvert-Lewin back in Yorkshire, where he began his rise, and adds a proven profile to Leeds’ attacking options as they navigate a busy schedule and look to balance form with depth.

The signing signals a clear plan from Leeds to blend established, experienced players with a growing young core. Calvert-Lewin’s Premier League pedigree and international exposure offer leadership and a reliable goal threat for a squad still building its identity under Farke. The challenge will be keeping him fit and integrating him with teammates who are still developing their chemistry.
Overall, the deal reflects a deliberate level of ambition from Leeds: a club willing to invest in a seasoned forward to push for consistency, while remaining mindful of squad balance and long-term goals.
