The summer transfer window has been a whirlwind for Premier League clubs, with high-profile moves already reshaping the landscape ahead of the new season.
Fans have been tracking every rumour, from surprise swaps to long-awaited arrivals, as teams prepare for the intensity of league and cup competitions.
The Premier League season begins tonight, and squads are finalising their attacking options, particularly those teams seeking to boost goal output after underwhelming previous campaigns.
Across England, clubs are balancing experience and youth, looking for the right blend to mount challenges domestically and in Europe.
Manchester United supporters have been particularly attentive, monitoring striker markets after the arrivals of Sesko, Cunha, and the pursuit of Baleba in midfield.
It is in this context that Leeds United have announced, via their website, the signing of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who joins Elland Road after leaving Everton upon the expiration of his contract earlier this summer.

The England international has committed to a three-year deal, keeping him at the club until 2028.
At 28, Dominic Calvert-Lewin brings a wealth of Premier League experience, having scored 57 goals in 239 top-flight appearances and regularly leading Everton’s forward line.
Calvert-Lewin’s pedigree extends beyond domestic competition, having featured prominently in European tournaments, including nine appearances in Everton’s 2016/17 Europa League campaign.
His career began in Yorkshire with hometown club Sheffield United, with productive loan spells paving the way for a move to Merseyside.
He made his top-flight debut in a 2-1 win over Arsenal in 2016 and notched his first Premier League goal later that season during a 4-0 triumph against Hull City.
The 2020/21 season marked his most productive campaign, combining for 26 goal involvements and earning international recognition with England.
Calvert-Lewin featured in Gareth Southgate’s squad during the memorable run to the UEFA Euro 2020 final and was integral in England’s Under-20 World Cup victory in 2017, scoring the decisive goal in the final.
Last season, he made 26 Premier League appearances, helping Everton secure a mid-table finish.
Leeds United have welcomed Calvert-Lewin as their eighth summer signing under Daniel Farke, signalling ambition and experience added to their attacking options.
While Manchester United were linked with the forward during the window, Leeds have ultimately secured his services, providing Daniel Farke with a proven goal scorer to bolster his squad.
