Sheffield United in line to receive financial boost if Dominic Calvert-Lewin seals Everton exit

Sheffield United will receive a financial boost if Dominic Calvert-Lewin seals a move to Newcastle United from Everton this summer, according to a report from The Star.

It is understood that the Blades included a sell-on clause in the deal that they agreed with the Toffees which saw Calvert-Lewin make the move to Goodison Park in 2016.

In the 165 appearances that he has made in the top-flight, the England international has scored 45 goals whilst he has also chipped in with 15 assists.

Calvert-Lewin’s game-time last season was limited due to injury as he only featured on 18 occasions in all competitions.

Despite his inactivity, the forward still managed to provide a respectable tally of seven direct goal contributions in the Premier League.

A report from The Telegraph last month suggested that Newcastle were set to launch a bid for Calvert-Lewin when the summer transfer window opens.

The Magpies will be aiming to reach new heights in the Premier League next season after securing an 11th place finish in the standings during the previous term.
