# Calvert-Lewin to become one of Everton’s highest earners with new contract

Dominic Calvert-Lewin could soon be set to pocket £100,000-a-week as Everton edge closer to tying the forward down to sign a new contract, [according to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-everton-in-advanced-talks-to-agree-new-deal/).

[Football Insider reported](https://www.footballinsider247.com/everton-exclusive-brands-opens-talks-over-defender-new-deal/) in January that the Toffees were in advanced discussions with Calvert-Lewin’s representatives, with the club seeking to reward the 22-year old for his recent form.

The former Sheffield United striker has scored [eight goals in 11 Premier League](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominic-calvert-lewin/leistungsdaten/spieler/306024) games since Marco Silva was sacked in early December, and he has now established himself as a crucial player under Carlo Ancelotti.

With [Mirror Sport claiming](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-target-50m-dominic-21188803) in January that Manchester United have begun to track Calvert-Lewin following his improved form, while he has also [been backed to make Gareth Southgate’s England squad](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51179663), Everton have moved to secure their asset.

[Football Insider report](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-everton-in-advanced-talks-to-agree-new-deal/) that the new deal will be worth nearly £100,000-a-week, and that it will be signed imminently.

### Read Everton Verdict

[According to Spotrac’s breakdown](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/everton-f.c/payroll/) of Everton’s wage structure in January, Calvert-Lewin is currently on a weekly wage of £20,000-a-week.

[The report](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/everton-f.c/payroll/) claims that only seven players at the club are currently earning £100,000-a-week or more: Theo Walcott, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Morgan Schneiderlin, Jordan Pickford, Andre Gomes, Yerry Mina and Bernard.

If you compare the influence Calvert-Lewin has had for Everton this season, he deserves his wage increase when compared to many of the other, less impactful players to have a salary of that size.

Offering money like that to Calvert-Lewin also indicates how much the club value a player who has become an ever-present player in Everton’s starting line-up this season.

Calvert-Lewin deserves the pay rise, and hopefully Everton can now work to tie down other players, such as Mason Holgate.
