Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has drawn comparisons to to Juventus hitman Cristiano Ronaldo. Calvert-Lewin, 23, has made an incredible start to the new domestic season.
The former Sheffield United man has scored an impressive six goals in four appearances for Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season, much to the delight of the Goodison Park faithful.
Calvert-Lewin’s fine form has been rewarded with a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the upcoming friendly against Wales and the Three Lions’ Nations League clashes with Belgium and Denmark.
Among those thoroughly impressed by Calvert-Lewin’s fine form is his Toffees’ team-mate Richarlison, who has linked his current run of form to that of the prolific Cristiano Ronaldo.
