“Calvert-Lewin’s SHOCKING Instagram Post Will Leave Everton Fans FURIOUS – Is He the Club’s BIGGEST Villain Yet?”
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s Leeds United switch could put him back in the firing line with Everton supporters.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, 28, has been without a club since leaving Everton at the end of the season after failing to agree on a new contract.
Linked with several European sides, the former England international decided to part ways with his agent and handle negotiations himself.
His persistence has now paid off, with the striker securing a move to Leeds United — Everton’s opening-day opponent — setting the stage for a potentially hostile reception from the blue half of Merseyside.
Everton have already moved on, bringing in Thierno Barry from Villarreal earlier this summer to bolster David Moyes’ attacking options alongside Beto.
Nevertheless, the prospect of facing their former forward so soon could give Everton fans an uncomfortable flashback.
Calvert-Lewin officially joined Leeds on Friday, 15 August, and manager Daniel Farke has confirmed he is available to play on Monday night, 18 August — the perfect chance for him to make an immediate impact.
The move has an added twist, considering Calvert-Lewin’s last Instagram post read, “Once a blue, always a blue.”
Should he score against his former club, he could quickly become a pantomime villain for Everton supporters.
From Everton’s perspective, preventing Calvert-Lewin from thriving will be crucial. After nine years at Goodison Park, they know better than anyone how to handle his physical style.
The defensive pairing of James Tarkowski and Jake O’Brien will need to be at their best, although the absence of Jarrad Branthwaite through injury is a significant setback.
Moyes must ensure Calvert-Lewin is denied the space and service to play his natural game. Failure to do so could not only cost Everton points but also subject them to unnecessary ridicule from fans and rivals alike.
Monday’s clash now carries an extra layer of drama — with the potential for their old No. 9 to come back and haunt them right from the start of the new Premier League campaign.
