Calvert-Lewin is 'going to be loyal to Leeds' as 'temptations' emerge

Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness believes Calvert-Lewin will remain loyal to Leeds despite potential interest from European clubs, saying the striker's focus is on helping the Whites reach Europe.

Keith Wyness, Everton's former chief executive, has backed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to stay at Leeds United despite expected transfer interest as his contract enters its final 18 months before expiring in summer 2028.

Wyness told Football Insider that while temptations will emerge from clubs offering regular European football, Calvert-Lewin is unlikely to be motivated by such moves. The 29-year-old striker has impressed since joining Leeds in 2025, scoring five goals in nine games this season under manager Daniel Farke.

"There'll be temptations, but I think he's going to be loyal and I think he will stay with Leeds," Wyness said. "He knows as a striker that the satisfaction of scoring goals and if you've got a team playing to your style and playing in the way you want it, that's worth more than just a few European nights." Wyness believes an in-form Calvert-Lewin could be the decisive factor in Leeds securing European qualification in the coming years.
