The 28‑year‑old, known for his aerial presence and hold-up play, has earned interest from several clubs—including Newcastle and Manchester United—since his contract expired .
According to exclusive reports from The Leeds Press, Leeds have entered talks with Calvert‑Lewin and reached a verbal agreement on personal terms. The club aims to finalize a formal contract soon, as they look to bolster attacking depth ahead of their return to the Premier League . This potential move aligns with Leeds’ strategy of signing experienced, free‑transfer players—evident in their recent additions like Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol—while keeping wage expenditure manageable .
Despite concerns over Calvert‑Lewin’s recent fitness and goal-scoring form, Leeds believe his Premier League experience could add valuable depth to Daniel Farke’s squad. While not expected to be the first-choice striker, his physicality and leadership traits are seen as assets for competing at a higher level .
Leeds now face the task of formalizing the deal quickly—balancing wage demands with squad needs—to ensure the striker joins in time for pre-season and helps enhance their front-line options.
