Dominic Calvert-Lewin: It is a massive football club

Leeds United bolstered their attacking options with the signing of England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who joins the club after a long spell in the Premier League with Everton.

The 28-year-old has signed a three-year deal at Elland Road and after putting pen to paper on the contract, he exclusively told LUTV of his delight in joining Daniel Farke’s side.

“I am really excited,” the forward said to former Whites star Jermaine Beckford. “It is like walking in today like a first day at school.

“I feel like a kid again that is just starting somewhere new and just can’t wait to play and represent the football club.

“For me, it is a massive football club with a massive fan base. I have played at Elland Road before and I just remember thinking how loud the fans were and how good the fans were.

“It is something that I really, really wanted to be a part of. I also spoke with the manager prior to this and we had a really good conversation and he was a centre-forward himself.

“So, he was just explaining how the life of a centre forward is and he gave me a feeling of a lot of understanding and it made me really excited to work with him as well. And just the way that the team set up and the way that we set up last season was really attractive for me.

“I have been in the Premier League a while now so I think people are pretty familiar with my game but I also think there are other aspects to my game that I can bring that I maybe haven’t brought enough of.

“I am looking forward to unlocking that and continuing the things that I am good at but also bringing new aspects and new facets to my game. So I’m looking forward to just seeing Elland Road in full force through a different lens, you know, as a Leeds player.”
