2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

DCL just may want a different challenge somewhere else and it may not be down to money alone.

If he was happy to stay and we want him badly enough then certainly a deal could be put in place, possibly in the form of a big signing on fee and then wages in line with other top earners.

We are already probably paying him 100k per week, another 50k over four years would amount to an extra 10m which is a pittance compared to what we would have to pay to get a similar striker.
I think the fee mentioned for Broja is 28 and he hardly has a great pedigree.

My concern with DCL is that after the injuries that he lost a yard of pace. He is still good in the air, holds the ball up well but he just doesn't have the pace to get away from defenders.
He was never that kind of striker. If i google, im sure i can find instances of him getting the ball and smoking a defender to score, but those would be few and far between.
