England-capped striker Calvert-Lewin ended nine years with Everton as his Toffees contract expired in the summer before joining Leeds as a free agent signing on August 15.

Just over five months later, the 28-year-old striker is loving his time at Elland Road following a move which also brought the Sheffield-born forward back to his Yorkshire roots.

Calvert-Lewin came through the youth ranks at Sheffield United before joining Everton back in August 2015, the striker going on to make 273 appearances for the Toffees for whom he scored 71 times.

The striker, though, admitted it was time for a change after nearly a decade with the Merseyside club where he felt his game was stagnating after nine years with the club and the last three battling relegation.
