Wayne Rooney Questions Everton’s Decision to Let Dominic Calvert-Lewin Join Leeds United
Former England captain Wayne Rooney has raised eyebrows over Everton’s decision to allow striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin leave the club for Leeds United, questioning whether the move truly serves the Toffees’ long-term interests. Rooney, who enjoyed a storied career at Goodison Park, expressed doubts about Everton weakening their attacking depth at a crucial period for the club.
Calvert-Lewin, once regarded as one of Everton’s most reliable forwards, struggled with injuries in recent seasons but remains a proven Premier League striker when fully fit. Rooney noted that while the forward’s fitness issues were a concern, his experience, aerial presence and goal threat could still have played a vital role in Everton’s rebuilding process.
The former striker’s comments have sparked debate among fans, with some agreeing Everton needed a fresh start, while others believe letting Calvert-Lewin join a league rival like Leeds United could come back to haunt them. As both clubs prepare for the new campaign, all eyes will be on whether Everton’s decision proves wise or costly in the long run.
