Dominic Calvert-Lewin has once again been called up to the England squad. The striker is Leeds United’s leading scorer this season.
The former Everton man has been a huge success since joining the club last year. He finished as Leeds’ top scorer in all competitions with 15 goals.
And he has gotten off to a strong start in this campaign with five goals in 12 games.
Last season was so impressive that it brought him back into the England fold for the first time in years.

The gamble to join the West Yorkshire was a big one which paid off in many ways. Leeds were the club that took a chance on him, and they have never looked back.
A new environment for the former Everton man has done wonders, and now he is back in the England fold.
Speaking of England, Calvert-Lewin will be looking to play more minutes in this international break after getting just 21 minutes in the last four games.
The Leeds man spoke in a recent press conference about his place in the England side, and the competition with Harry Kane.
“His record speaks for itself,”
“He’s a fantastic player.
“He’s the captain of the country and he leads by example. And I think he’s deserving of his accolades at the moment. On a personal note, being a centre forward in competition for that place, it’s a difficult position to be in.
“So I think when I come away on England camps now, I think I have to be just as prepared as possible and ready for when my own personal opportunity comes, if and when needed.
“I suppose it’s somewhat an audition, but it’s what I do every week that is what will warrant a call-up. Obviously you then get a chance to shine in an England shirt.”

Will Calvert-Lewin get his chance with England?
Eventually he will get a few games when Harry Kane needs a rest or is unavailable. But for now, he just needs to focus on being the best version of himself.
The Leeds man needs to continue doing what has brought him this far.
If he stay fit and keeps scoring, he will be high in Thomas Tuchel’s plans and it is only a matter of time before he gets some good minutes on the field.
