Leeds United told the 'dream' Dominic Calvert-Lewin needs as Erling Haaland comparison made
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has become a firm fans' favourite at Leeds United.
Signed on a free transfer after his Everton contract expired, the England striker scored 14 Premier League goals last season.
This term, he has netted once in the top flight and twice in the Carabao Cup as he continues to be Leeds' most consistent goal threat.
Indeed, one concern has been whether Leeds have enough goals elsewhere in the team to support Calvert-Lewin.
Leeds added attacking reinforcement in the form of Harry Wilson and Jean-Matteo Bahoya in the transfer window to try and enhance their attacking output.
Former Whites winger Jermaine Pennant has now spoken about what Leeds need to do to get even more out of Calvert-Lewin.
What Leeds need to do in 'dream' Calvert-Lewin scenario
Many fans were expecting Leeds to target another striker during the transfer window.
While Calvert-Lewin is a great goal threat, there are questions about Lukas Nmecha when he plays in place of Calvert-Lewin.
Pennant, though, thinks it is more a question of Leeds' other attackers ensuring there is a consistent quality supply to their top marksman.
He made a comparison to Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland, saying how both players like to thrive on early service into the box.
Speaking to Goal.com, Pennant said: "“He feeds on support. He feeds on balls into the box, supply. You do that, he'll put himself there and he'll probably, nine times out of 10, be there and win it.
“He's looked good in pre-season, he's looked good at the start of the season. But he's not a striker that’s going to get the ball on the halfway line, take three players on, create his own stuff and score one in the top corner.
“You need to feed him. It's like Erling Haaland. If you don't supply him, he's not really going to score you goals. So as soon as they get that sorted and get that supply and whip balls in, that's a dream for Calvert-Lewin.”
Calvert-Lewin is one of the best in the league
There was an element of scepticism when Leeds signed Calvert-Lewin ahead of their return to the Premier League last season.
It was never really a question of his quality, but more whether he could stay fit enough to make an impact.
Boy, did he answer those concerns and then some.
With Calvert-Lewin, it is not just the goals you get. It's his hold-up play, ability to link midfield and attack, and aerial threat.
On his day, Calvert-Lewin is one of the best strikers in the league, and Leeds know full well that if they give him the service, he can get plenty of goals.
