Everton respond to ambitious West Ham transfer approach for £60m star

West Ham are reportedly interested in sealing an ambitious transfer swoop for Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The Hammers are thought to have made their interest known to Everton, but the Toffees are demanding as much as £60million to let the England international go.

It seems unlikely that West Ham can afford to pay quite that much for Calvert-Lewin, whose fine form at Goodison Park has also seen him linked with big names like Arsenal and Manchester United in the last year or so.

Calvert-Lewin has had his injury struggles this season, but he remains an important player for Everton, and it’s unsurprising that they’re eager to keep hold of him.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a transfer target for West Ham

West Ham could’ve done well to sign the 24-year-old, however, as David Moyes really needs a bit more fire-power up front.

Moyes’ side have been a little over-reliant on Michail Antonio for goals, and an extra option like Calvert-Lewin could really take the club to the next level.

It seems they will have to look elsewhere, however, with Everton holding firm on one of their most important players.
