Dominic Calvert-Lewin is leaving Everton as a free agent after nine years at the Premier League club, the striker said on Sunday.
Calvert-Lewin, who scored 57 goals in 239 league appearances for Everton, said leaving was an "incredibly difficult decision".
"This isn't something I chose lightly," he wrote on social media.
"Everton has been my home since I was 19-years-old. It's the place that saw potential in me, challenged me to grow and shaped me both as a footballer and as a man.
"The choice to move on was not simply about me, it was a decision with my family and we spent a long time considering together."
Calvert-Lewin had his best season at Everton in 2020-21 when he netted 16 goals in the league, but struggled in the following four seasons, scoring only 17 times in the competition. REUTERS
