It's kind of amazing how well his body has held up as well considering how much too level football he's played at such a young age

A well presented reply.... fair play.
However.... as much as I don't think DCL will be a ball striker like Drogba or a finisher like him.... I do think he will be a better athlete
You don't need to be a pure ball striker to be a great finisher.
me neither!

Dominic Calvert-Lewin rewarded for goalscoring streak with £70,000-a-week contract at Everton
Everton expect to agree a new five-year contract with striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is on a goalscoring streak under new manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The England Under-21 international has been a big hit under the new Everton manager having been in negotiations with the club over an improved deal for the past six months. It is anticipated that his salary will rise to between £70,000 and £75,000 per week over the new five-year contract, securing his future and making him a part of the Ancelotti rebuild.
The 22-year-old signed his last deal in December 2017 and this new contract will reflect his higher status within the team. He scored the game’s only goal against Burnley on Boxing Day in Ancelotti’s first game in charge and followed that up with both in the 2-1 win over Newcastle United at St James’ Park three days later. He also scored two against Chelsea in Duncan Ferguson’s first game in charge. Ten goals in all competitions to date mean that he has already surpassed his totals of eight in both of his previous two seasons.
It has long been the club’s intention to make Calvert-Lewin a key part of the first team squad, whoever was in charge. Ancelotti has already expressed his desire to develop the young Englishman. Moise Kean, who arrived in the summer from Juventus for £27.5 million, has thus far been used as a striker off the bench. The 19-year-old is yet to score his first goal in English football but is also regarded as a long term project, having arrived at Everton at the same age as Calvert-Lewin.
Calvert-Lewin’s two previous seasons for Everton saw him feature in a significant number of league games albeit often as a substitute. He is now regarded as a starting player, having long demonstrated many of the qualities needed to succeed in his position.
Calvert-Lewin is another product of the successful Sheffield United academy which counts Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire among its recent alumni. He was picked up cheap by Everton – for just £1.5 million – when he was 19, in the summer of 2016, before the last season Sheffield United spent in League One. He was part of the England Under-21s squad at the European championships in Italy last summer, in a group of strikers that included Tammy Abraham and Dominic Solanke.
Either it’s an elaborate act of misdirection to invite an bid or Carlo really does believe in him.
Happy new year!

We need a team or style of play who can feed a high quality goalscorer, without that a goalscorer is not worth anything if he is not getting chances.
The past 2 games have been promising with loads more shots and chances, no coincidence that our striker has weighed in with 3 goals in that time.

Not knocking the lad he's done boss this month
But have a good month score a few goals and get a massive pay rise?
Surely could offer him it in the summer if he keeps it up

He’s on about £20k from his last contract in 2017. Do you hate him that much to not think he’s improved enough since 2017 to earn a new contract?

That and also protects the club and we can demand big money for him should some of the big boys come sniffing

If you would have asked me this a month ago I'd have said 20k is far to much for him
Do I think someone with 3/4 years left on their contract deserves a new one based on a good month? No
If he keeps it up for a few more months I would be very fair to give him a new one
I think they know enough about his development to make this offer.
The fact that they just started playing to his strengths and he is scoring is a different matter. They always knew that he was a talented player and would come good.
