# West Ham United: Irons interested in signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin

**According to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10656073/Arsenal-West-Ham-interested-signing-Everton-striker-Dominic-Calvert-Lewin-summer.html), West Ham United are interested in signing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.**

### The Lowdown: Quiet season for DCL

The 25-year-old has had a season to forget so far. He has only made 10 Premier League appearances and has scored[just three league goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/leistungsdaten/spieler/306024) to date, adding to Everton’s attacking woes.

At the end of August, the England international suffered a fractured toe. Unbelievably, this injury kept him [out of action for 125 days](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/verletzungen/spieler/306024), missing a total of 16 games.

In addition to that setback, Calvert-Lewin has [recently suffered from illness.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/frank-lampard-offers-dominic-calvert-23406877) As a result, he has struggled to maintain fitness for a decent string of games this season.

### The Latest: West Ham interested in Calvert-Lewin

As per the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10656073/Arsenal-West-Ham-interested-signing-Everton-striker-Dominic-Calvert-Lewin-summer.html), Everton are now prepared to sell Calvert-Lewin in the summer transfer window. Furthermore, it is reported that the Toffees could be willing to accept a lower fee than their previous £60m valuation.

As a result, West Ham and Arsenal have both declared their interest in the England international.

### The Verdict: Would be a fantastic signing

With Michail Antonio being West Ham’s [only out-and-out senior striker](https://www.whufc.com/players/713), David Moyes could seriously do with bolstering his options up front. Whilst the 32-year-old had a flying start to the Premier League season, he has now [failed to score in his last 10 top-flight games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/leistungsdaten/spieler/104124).

As a result, GSB could do with securing a new starting striker; and with the news of Calvert-Lewin’s availability, this could be the perfect transfer for both parties.

In 157 appearances for the Toffees, the 25-year-old has netted [43 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/leistungsdaten/spieler/306024). Whilst [Antonio](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michail-antonio/leistungsdaten/spieler/104124) has achieved comparable numbers, Calvert-Lewin would be playing in a [more potent team](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) if he were to join the Irons, so a huge influx in goals could be expected, with Alan Shearer previously asserting that the 25-year-old is a player who will [“keep scoring goals”](https://theathletic.com/2121603/2020/10/13/alan-shearer-athletic-kane-goals-motd/).

His former Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti also labelled him a [“top striker”](https://supersport.com/rugby/springboks/news/210510_Evertons_Ancelotti_praises_top_striker_CalvertLewin), so this could be the transfer that West Ham need to prioritise in the summer.
