Everton Exclusive: Monaco set sights on signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Monaco have set their sights on signing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, sources have told Football Insider.
The Ligue 1 outfit ideally want to sign the 27-year-old on a free transfer next summer after his Everton contract expires, but a January deal for a fee is also a possibility.
Football Insider understands that Monaco scouts were in attendance at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday (14 December) to watch Calvert-Lewin as Everton drew 0-0 against Arsenal.
The England international is out of contract at Goodison Park next summer and will be free to negotiate with foreign clubs in January.
However, Monaco could fast-track a deal to sign the experienced striker by paying a fee to the Merseyside giants at the turn of the year.
January will mark Everton’s final opportunity to cash-in on Calvert-Lewin if the two parties are not able to come to terms on a contract extension.
