Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be walking out at Elland Road in a Leeds United shirt this season following reports of his imminent transfer. The Athletic’s David Ornstein revealed on Wednesday a deal in principle had been agreed, with the free agent striker set to undergo medical tests imminently.
Calvert-Lewin is expected to become Leeds’ second striker signing after fellow free agent Lukas Nmecha, having reportedly held talks with numerous Premier League clubs before agreeing on a move to West Yorkshire. The 28-year-old could even make his debut against former club Everton on Monday if he is fit enough.
Once medical tests and the standard media duties are complete, Calver-Lewin will be tasked with picking his Leeds squad number for the 2025/26 campaign. Below, the YEP takes a look at what is available for the striker.
