Tottenham Hotspur come into the new campaign on the back of a splendid summer transfer window where they not only bought some ceiling raisers but also signed a bunch of highly regarded young talents that can really benefit in the long term; one of those marquee arrivals was English striker Dominic Solanke.
Daniel Levy forked out a massive £65 million to secure his signatures from Bournemouth following long-struck negotiations with the Cherries.
Tottenham hope to secure Calvert-Lewin deal
While Solanke is expected to fill the Harry Kane-shaped void in the offensive line, the Lilywhites are still out searching for ways to bolster their front line. And according to a recent report by Fichajes, Spurs are looking to bring in Everton striker Dominic Calvert Lewin. The England international is expected to leave the Merseyside Blues at the conclusion of the ongoing season as his contract runs due at Goodison Park.
The 27-year-old was subject to links with a move away from Everton all summer; however, no conceded interests in his services materialised, and he ended up staying with his current employers.

That being said, Sean Dyche’s side is keen to secure his signatures for a contract extension, although with only ten months on his contract, DCL would be keen to explore new opportunities away from Everton.
Spurs eye Calvert-Lewin as backup to Solanke
For Tottenham, the club has been looking to get a sigma striking options as they look for a quality backup to Dominic Solanke, and the England international would be ideal to ensure that Spurs continue to compete at the highest level in case of a Solanke injury.
Ange Postecoglou does have Richarlison at his disposal, but the Brazilian striker has struggled for consistency in front of goal, and his injury problems are a different set of deficiencies in their own right.

Given the experience that the £100,000-a-week ace possesses, he could end up being an appalling arrival at White Hart Lane.
