Calvert-Lewin is the perfect number nine and he'll only get better, says Everton academy director Unsworth

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the “perfect number nine”, according to Everton's academy director David Unsworth, who has backed the free-scoring striker to continue improving.

Nine goals in all competitions so far this term for the 23-year-old have helped the Toffees to a perfect start to the 2020-21 campaign, with Carlo Ancelotti's side sitting top of the Premier League and the club enjoying their best start to a campaign for decades.

Calvert-Lewin's own form has seen him handed a maiden England call-up by senior national team boss Gareth Southgate, and Unsworth believes the Under-20 World Cup winner will remain a fixture in the Three Lions set-up for some time.
