Tottenham have previously shown an interest in signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Tottenham Hotspur are pushing hard to make signings, having already secured permanent deals for Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel.

West Ham attacker Mohammed Kudus has been made a top target by new Spurs boss Thomas Frank, with his heart set on a move to N17. The Ghanaian international would follow Tel, Danso, and Kota Takai to White Hart Lane if an agreement with the Hammers can be reached.

In addition to Kudus, Tottenham are seemingly seeking for a pure No.9 as an upgrade on Richarlison, whose future is up in the air. The Brazilian international has recently become a topic of discussion at Turkish champions Galatasaray, and considering his injury-riddled time in North London, Thomas Frank has already greenlighted his exit.

If Richarlison departs, the North Londoners will have to sign a quality replacement. It was reported earlier that Tottenham were interested in signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton. Currently, the English centre-forward is a free agent after being released by Everton at the end of June. However, Spurs will face competition from one of their Premier League rivals to sign him.

Manchester United to rival Tottenham for free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin

According to a report from talkSPORT, Manchester United are lining up a move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He has been added to their list of striker targets, as Ruben Amorim looks to bolster their forward line further after the acquisition of Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

The 28-year-old may not be the preferred striker for the Red Devils but he is cost-effective and has proven that he can find the back of the net for several years which will only entice INEOS to make the move for him this summer. The England international was a coveted commodity when he scored goals in double figures in successive seasons for Everton from 2019 to 2021, before injuries hit him hard.

This has taken a toll on Calvert-Lewin’s progress, and after failing to keep himself fitness in recent years, he has been released by the Toffees.

David Moyes has shut down rumours linking Tottenham forward Richarlison to a return to Everton.
Should Tottenham eye Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a potential replacement for Richarlison?

Should Spurs revive their interest in the ex-Everton man?

Calvert-Lewin is now searching for a new home after his nine-year spell at Goodison Park has come to an end. But should Tottenham reignite their interest in the English striker after Manchester United contemplating to snap him up on a free transfer?

Not really. When fully fit and running, Calvert-Lewin is a real handful for defenders and can score all kinds of goals- as evidenced by during his time at Everton. Sadly, the striker has failed to keep his fitness intact in recent years, which instantly is a red flag for any potential deal. That said, Tottenham must pass up the opportunity to sign the Englishman, even if he is available as a free agent.
