Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been linked with a move to Leeds United this summer.

Daniel Farke will be keen to see his Leeds United side accelerate their transfer business this summer, and with the PSR turnover imminent, that can be expected in the coming days.

After the arrival of Jaka Bijol, the Whites have already sealed two new arrivals and will be intent on adding even more ahead of their Premier League return.

Signing a new striker will be a priority, and the latest update from Merseyside may provide the perfect opportunity to address that.

Calvert-Lewin exit confirmed from Everton

Amid links to Nikola Krstovic, it is evident that Farke wants to add a new number nine to his squad, in a bid to avoid the drop next season.

However, after it was confirmed on Sunday (29 June) that Calvert-Lewin has now left Everton, they may finally be able to sign off on a deal to bring him to Elland Road, which would be a huge coup.

His goal record wasn't the best last season, but the Englishman knows the Premier League like the back of his hand, and that experience will be crucial.

A chance to reignite his career away from Merseyside may be exactly what he needs to find his form again, and on a free transfer, there would be very little risk behind a move for Leeds.

Premier League experience will be crucial for Leeds

Leeds have a very talented squad and have been linked with some even more talented players, but a lack of Premier League experience is still present.

That will need to be addressed as part of their summer recruitment plans, with several new additions still to be expected at Elland Road.

Pre-season training will get underway soon, and Farke will want as much time as possible to work with his squad for the new campaign.
