Striker has entered final year of his contractDyche may struggle to fill bench at Spurs on Saturday
Sean Dyche has said Everton’s financial situation may force them to accept an offer for Dominic Calvert-Lewin next week despite his desire to keep the centre-forward.
The Everton manager would be loth to lose Calvert-Lewin, the club’s top scorer last season in all competitions, but also powerless to keep him should a tempting bid arrive before next Friday’s deadline. The centre-forward has entered the final year of his Everton contract having resisted signing an extension due to the uncertainty over the club’s future. With no resolution in sight – the American billionaire John Textor would still have several hurdles to overcome even if he agrees a deal to buy Farhad Moshiri’s majority shareholding – Dyche admits Everton’s finances could dictate a sale.
