Brutal Chris Sutton shows no mercy on Everton ‘disappointment’ Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Everton have been well below par this season.

After a productive campaign last term, finishing well clear of the relegation zone despite an eight-point deduction, many expected Sean Dyche’s men to really kick on this term.

But, they’ve gone backwards and now look in real danger of suffering relegation ahead of the stadium move to Bramley-Moore Dock.

Everton reside just a point above 18th-placed Ipswich Town and are on a run of one win in 11 games, so evidently something needs to change.

There’s been talk of Graham Potter replacing Dyche, but West Ham United are currently more advanced in the race to land the former Chelsea and Brighton boss.

January additions are needed, too, and it’s obvious a striker is needed to replace the out-of-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Chris Sutton has just ripped into Calvert-Lewin and shown no mercy on the Sean Dyche favourite.

Chris Sutton says Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been a ‘disappointment’

Speaking on the Monday Night Club, Chris Sutton slammed Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and said he looks a shadow of his former self.

“Calvert-Lewin… it’s fair to say has been such a disappointment,” Sutton explained.

“Because he would argue that he isn’t getting the service but he’s certainly not the player…he’s a shadow of the player he once was.

“And the fact that, you know, he’s not being picked when we know what a talent he can be is an issue.”

The former England international has netted just two goals in the Premier League this season and has been dropped in recent weeks for Armando Broja.

Everton should offload Calvert-Lewin this month

Calvert-Lewin is out of contract in the summer and there’s been no talks of renewing his deal, so this month is set to be the last chance to cash in on him before he becomes a free agent.

Arsenal have shown an interest in Calvert-Lewin in recent weeks whilst Newcastle are long-term admirers.

If either of them comes in with a bid, Everton should seriously consider accepting it and moving on from the 27-year-old.

Evan Ferguson has been linked to Everton and would be a huge upgrade on Calvert-Lewin, anyhow.
