Dominic Calvert-Lewin has proven to be a gamble worth taking for Leeds United this season.

The Englishman completed a summer move to Elland Road after departing Everton and was met with mixed reviews.

There was a general lack of excitement surrounding his free transfer switch to Yorkshire after years of struggle at Goodison Park.

Outside of one season under Carlo Ancelotti, he had failed to really find the net consistently at Premier League level.

Calvert-Lewin signed for Leeds and has proven to be superb, and now MOT Leeds News has rounded up what we know about his contract situation.

What is Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract situation at Leeds United?

The 29-year-old is celebrating his birthday on 16 March as he edges towards his peak age as a professional.

He has had a lengthy career already at this stage, having made his senior debut for Stalybridge Celtic in December 2014 in the National League North.

The forward is already 12 years into his football career, but is arguably at his best since making his switch to Elland Road.

Calvert-Lewin put pen to paper on a deal in the summer, sealing his future in LS11 until the summer of 2028 after departing Everton.

The Whites agreed a reported weekly salary of £100,000 for the number nine, tallying to a yearly wage in the region of £5.2million.

That ranks the Englishman as the highest earner at Elland Road, sitting ahead of Sean Longstaff, Dan James and Noah Okafor, according to reports.

He may be worth that as Calvert-Lewin could land an England call-up for his efforts, but that may spark interest from elsewhere.

Could Calvert-Lewin leave Leeds?

The ex-Sheffield United youngster could prove to be the difference between survival and relegation in the Premier League this season.

There are only a few games left, but Daniel Farke will hope his striker can showcase his talents to avoid the drop.

If Calvert-Lewin can do that, there is bound to be interest in his signature emerging when the summer transfer window opens up.

He has 10 goals at this stage of the campaign and sits ahead of Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Cole Palmer for league goals scored.

That could make an LS11 exit completely possible, but the decision is ultimately in the hands of Leeds due to the two-plus years remaining on his contract.
