# Everton: Lampard would rather sacrifice Richarlison over Dominic Calvert-Lewin

**[Everton](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-news/) manager Frank Lampard would rather sacrifice Richarlison than Dominic Calvert-Lewin if it came down to it this summer, according to [Sky Sports reporter](https://www.givemesport.com/88021199-everton-lampard-could-sacrifice-90k-a-week-star-at-goodison-park) Michael Bridge.**

### **The Lowdown: Linked with moves away**

Both Toffees attackers have been linked with moves away from Goodison Park in recent months following the narrow retention of their [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) status.

According to [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/tottenham-richarlison-everton-transfer/C5FWc6TuL85v/), Tottenham are interested in signing Richarlison this summer, whilst [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/everton-dcl-arsenal-latest/) have reported that both Arsenal and Newcastle are leading the race for Calvert-Lewin.

### **The Latest: Bridge’s Everton claim**

Following Everton’s dire season, Bridge believes that the Toffees will be looking to undergo a rebuild under Lampard. As a result, he suspects that the Merseyside club will need to sell either Richarlison or Calvert-Lewin as a means of raising funds for a transfer spree.

Speaking with [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88021199-everton-lampard-could-sacrifice-90k-a-week-star-at-goodison-park), he claimed: “I get the impression that if Frank Lampard wants to build again, he might have to sacrifice one key player. And you’d probably imagine they’d want Calvert-Lewin to stay over Richarlison, I don’t know. That’s just my opinion.”

### **The Verdict: Tough decision**

Whilst Richarlison was comfortably Everton’s most important player this season, as illustrated by him leading the squad’s [SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/everton/48) rankings, it would be unfair to compare it with the England striker’s recent form, given that the 25-year-old was riddled with [injuries](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dominic-calvert-lewin-everton-injury-23228564) throughout the 2021/22 campaign.

The former Watford man has produced 53 goals and 14 assists in [152 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richarlison/leistungsdaten/spieler/378710) for the Toffees, whilst Calvert-Lewin netted 58 goals and added 18 assists in [191 matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/leistungsdaten/spieler/306024) for the club.

Therefore, if Lampard has to let one of these two go in order to fund prospective incomings, it will be a tough decision for the club to make.
