Everton sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Everton have signed teenage forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee.

The 19-year-old, who came through the ranks at his hometown club, has signed a four-year contract with the Toffees and will link up with David Unsworth's Under-23 team for the 2016-17 campaign.

"He'll be a great acquisition to our very talented Under-23 group and I think he has the opportunity here now to kick on and play at the very highest level," Unsworth told the club's official website. "He's joining a massive club and this is an opportunity of a lifetime for him. To go from League One to the Premier League is a massive jump but he certainly has all of the attributes to make that jump, given time, hard work and the desire I know he has."

Calvert-Lewin scored eight times in 26 appearances during a loan spell at Northampton Town last season.
